    This is how big the ' little blighters' are

    If you rub the top layer off your leaf you will see them

    Sorry for adding the misleading disinfo regarding size, but they sure move fast on a leaf and there is usually more than one !
    Oh, no not misleading at all. I didn't find anything but I also didn't poke at the leaves. That's helpful, thankyou for taking the pics. I'll keep an eye out for them if there are more.

    This one is a possibility:

    Eww caterpillars are creepy things. I'll have a browse around the leaves see if I can find anything. Thanks!

      And just as an update, the chard have indeed sprung back very well. Today, there were more brown spots on a couple of the leaves. First since I pulled all the damage leaves (like 90% of them). These leaves indeed had little white munchers underneath, so bang on.

      Pulled a few more and hopefully they'll continue to grow.

        Baps since my last post I started tearing of just the damaged bits of leaves, it seems to work and giving the leaves change to grow larger with no damage.
