Hello all! As a result of having a rainwater harvesting system installed I decided to turn part of the water retention berms into raised bed gardens and now have a "Victory Garden" in my front yard. I'm only in my second year so I am still in the learning experience phase. Right now I am finding that something is cutting leaves off of my Bell Peppers. I was out looking last night and saw some beetles that look a bit like Agave Weevils in the bed but not on the plants . Whatever is doing this is cutting the leaves whole. It isn't harvester ants. So I would appreciate any speculation, outright guesses, or thoughts on what is doing this and how I can stop it.
Thanks!

Edit: I'm in Tucson, AZ
