I've looked it over and can't find any, nothing else in the garden is like it, just all the Hollyhock leaves........strange! I shall have to have another good look.

Thanks Carole, I searched too and found it was some sort of burrowing insect, forgotten what I found now, I'm getting awful with my memory :o( I saved it, but I do know that I have to keep on spraying to keep it at bay, apparently it loved Hollyhocks, it would wouldn't it!!!!
