It could be a number of things, my first guess is the cutter bumble bee. very large black and yellow. although you probably wont see it. They make their nest out of leaves and flowers, usually right out of the middle of a leaf. They are harmless and will quit as soon as their nests are built. They particular love sunflowers, and grape leaves.
If it is small chewing holes it could be leaf hoppers or grasshoppers or Japanese Beatles. If it is not too severe just a bi-weekly spray of soapy water will help.( a few drops of liquid dish soap in a spray bottle of water. Be sure and get the whole plant while spaying, and do it early enough in the day that the sun will not scorch you wet plants and there wont be moisture left on the plant by nightfall.
If it is severe, you will need to uses a pest spray for flowers, you can get it at any garden center, one that contains Sevin is the best for chewing insects, just follow the directions.
