I wonder what bug would be on my sun porch eating just one plant. Just since yesterday, something ate all the leaves on this ONE brugmansia... none of the other brugs right next to it, and none of the other various plants on the sun porch at all.

it probably died from the poison in the leaf and couldn't get to any others. i found a hornworm on mine last year. that looks like it could be some kind of hornworm damage.

Or it just hasn't gotten to the other plants yet--I imagine it was pretty full after munching that one! LOL

Well, I finally found the culprit that ate the leaves on my little brug. After he finished eating the rest of the leaves on that one brug, I found him dead on top of the potting soil in that pot. It was a cut worm... and I have no clue how he found his way onto my sun porch.

Thank you both for responding to this bug question.
