I live in Northeast Oklahoma. For the past 2 weeks something is eating my plants around my back patio. Whatever it is, either eats every bit it chews off or carries it off. There are never any leaves or branches left on the ground.
It has left my hollyhocks and dahlias about 2" tall. Also my tiger lilies
The most recent "victim" is my new hibiscus tree. Which is about 3 ft. tall. So either this animal can climb, or it is tall. 7 of the 12 branches have been completely chewed off at an angle. Not a leaf left behind either.
This pest is moving on to my rose bushes too.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
I would like to know what it could be, and what to do to get rid of it. :(

Thanks to anyone who can help!!
