Any tips aside from the obvious as to how to determine what I'm dealing with? I did dust the plants yesterday with DE trying to see if that might stop whatever it is from chewing.

I had problems early on with slugs, but those were in a different bed, and the bottom leaves low to the ground were the damaged ones, not the tops.
You sure it isn't hornworms hiding in there?
Look real hard.
