Can you post pictures of the damage, Rueith? Have you gone out at night with a flashlight, to see if you could catch the culprit? Many leaf eaters work at night. I don't know if you have an equivalent in Australia, but there is a big yellow and black swallowtail butterfly whose larvae eat citrus leaves. Unfortunately, what I am reading indicates than citrus pests don't attack Lemon Myrtle.
