What’s eating my eggplant leaves?

I’ve had previous hornworm infestation in my basil ans mint leaves - but not my eggplant until I see these marks now - I have sprayed it with pyrethrum spray but not sure if this is a similar pattern of eating by the bug? Could it be something else? #Eggplant #VeggieGardens #HappyPlants #PestControl

That looks like beetle damage. It honestly looks like Japanese Beetle or Lace bug damage. Your pyrethrum will work if it's that but it works on contact with the bug and is short lasting. That really sucks, I swear Aussie bugs are the worst. I feel for you, I'm sorry 😢
