My Zinnias are looking quite ratty and can't find any insects around my plants. Any ideas of what possibly could be snacking on my plants?

Thanks!

I think it is one of the soil type pests, like snails, slugs, earwigs or something.

Go out at night and see if you can hunt them down with a flashlight.

Put some loosely rolled news paper near the plant. Many pests that eat at night will hide in or near the soil through the day, so you can trap them in the paper. Open it into a large bucket to see what you have trapped.
