Hollyhocks. Advice PLEASE!

I have 2 beautiful Hollyhock plantd that seem to be thriving but I have noticed that their leaves are being nibbled at and I think it is happening during the night; this morning I noticed some of the leaves look like lace!

Any advice; a diagnosis and treatment recommended would be gratefully received!

Earwigs ? Scrunch up newspaper into loose balls and leave around the base and collect next morning to burn .
I have a lovely peachy apricot single out . love hollyhocks

Bugtrol. But spray the leaves (not flowers) in the evenings when all the bees have gone home for the day.

Wonderful stuff for bad bugs.

Snails enjoy them as well
