leaf eating pests - Knowledgebase Question

What can be eating the leaves of my purple corn flowers? I used a powder made for flowers to dust them and still no relief. None of the other surrounding flowers are affected. Could it be an animal rather than insects?

0	Echinacea (purple cone flower) is generally pest free, but the plants are sometimes attacked by leafhoppers, grasshoppers, and a nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans). I wish I could help you narrow down the enemies and determine what pest is munching on your plant!
