For the last two years these plants have been eaten to the veins by a bug that we call a stink bug. This year I started spraying them with Sevin spray as soon as the started to grow. Today I went out and found several leaves with perfectly round holes in line. Is someone messing with me or is there actually a bug that does this?

Yep,
What vette-kid says looks the lost likely?

Good subject picture.

A carpenter bee does exactly that but normally in wood. They are beneficial and don't cause very much damage. They are an interesting insect.

I don’t know. It has always been eaten so bad that it has never flowered. They die off completely during the winter and put up new shoots in the spring.

Those are not from stink bugs.

Hopefully you get some blooms this year!
