Mustard looks like Lace

[lavacaw]

My mustard greens are up about three to four inches tall and look like lace! I thinned them and checked thoroughly and can find not a single worm, bug, etc. Something is eating little holes in every leaf and I have no idea what to treat for since I can't find the little boogers! Any ideas?

Sounds like Japanese Beetle damage...they aren't out down there already are they????

flea bettle??? they are tiny little boogers...or an evening catapiller that lives in the soil during the day????

Leaf miners? Lots of different varieties, but they tend to make the leaves look "lacy".

You think this is possible... does it look similar?

The damage doesn't look like flea beetles...there is no browning out around the holes...just holes. We don't usually have japanese beetles around here in large numbers. I am going to try putting a clear jar over some and see if I can trap whatever it is so I know what to treat for. Still welcome any other suggestions.:tools
