I second Wendy's suggestion. Last fall, my Phal leaves and flowers had
large chunks eaten out of the edges - nothing in the centers. I knew it
wasn't slugs (reincarnated judges) because they didn't always pick on the
best plants. After dark I went hunting and found little (3/8" or so)
weevils. The only method of control seemed to be - catch them in the act
after dark, be sure to put something under them as they like to drop off and
play dead, catch and put them on a hard surface and mash them! No pesticide
I tried had any effect on them.

Tom, Just a thought, have you checked the plants at night? Some of these
guys come out & do the
damage after dark.
Cheers Wendy
