What Might Be Eating the Leaves (Only) on My Marigolds?

I just planted a few flats of marigolds and a bunch of other annuals and perineals. I have had problems in the past with weedhoppers in my grass in the past. I don't see any right now but wondered what an expert might think. Thank for your help. Also if it is weedhoppers what do I use to eradicate?

Usually marigolds are pretty bug resistant....sounds like a hungry varmint!!
Reply:Maybe slugs and snails. Look for a shiny slime substance on the plants. You can also go out after dark with a flashlight and look on the plants for these critters.
Reply:caterpillars or grasshoppers
