Hey Sharon,
I had earwigs when I lived in Montreal. They LOVE Delphiniums! They are not allowed in Ontario
.
Gorbelly, I think you are on to something. Flea beetles generally leave round holes, but the distortion is probably not because of them. I think something else is going on, but I don't know what. I will check the leaves again, using two magnifying glasses stacked.
Thanks,
Linda
