What's eating my lilly buds

[More basil]

Hello,

Something is eating my lily buds. What ever it is goes for the inside of the unopened buds so I am assuming it's after the protein? I don't think it's lily beetles. Though I've been removing a few of those, they seem to go for the leaves rather than the buds.

Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be and how to stop them? My main suspects are squirrels and a resident wood mouse

When i have have the lilly buds eaten, it has sometimes been lilly beetles but more often grasshoppers, but then again we have thousands of grasshoppers here in Bulgaria
