What eats rhubarb leaves?

Went down the allotment today, and found that the leaves on just one of
our five rhubarb plants had been stripped to the ribs! No slime trails,
footprints or droppings as a clue, so any ideas on what it was?

Any chickens about? When I kept chickens they stripped my rhubarb leaves
down to the ribs.

Didn't they get sore tummies from that?
Plenty of chickens on the site but none on our plot and none free range,
because we get regular visits from foxes, who come to catch the rabbits. We
don't think it was the rabbits because we are rabbit fenced and there were
no droppings. Untidy creatures, rabbits :-}

It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider.
