You have found a slug. Slug damage on foliage usually appears between the veins and on leaf margins. A silvery slime trail is left behind. Slugs fed at night especially in warm, humid weather. Control by elimating breeding and hiding places. Traps and slug baits can also be used.

For more information see Pesticide Chart (Not Available), Pest Management Calendar (Not Available).
