    Leprechauns. Almost definitely. They love raspberry leaves - gives them the giggles.

    (Could also easily be caterpillars)

    OH Loofah. Be Very, Very careful, about inciting the displeasure of the little folk.:nonofinger:
    No caterpillars I would have spotted them ! Pouring with rain this morning long overdue picked yet another bowl of runner beans, will just have to get on with the ironing. Have a nice piece of Brisket in the oven.

    Raspberry Sawfly Caterpillars?

    Maybe the Blue Tits got to them first?

    Beetles? They can cause a lot of damage to plants.
