Destructive bugs/insects

I'm not sure where to put this, because one plant is a container plant, one a woodland plant and the other a raspberry. Also I can't be sure they al suffer the same problem.

I have something eating my plants. It has eaten the leaves of Dwarf Dahlia (Dahlia hybrida), raspberries and Lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis) and several other plants. I have noticed webs the plants but never seen the bug. I had the same trouble with a houseplant which was destroyed in no time. What are they and how do I rid my garden of these bugs.

Well, there are (unfortunately) a lot of critters that eat plants.
What you can do is get some Neem oil and apply it to the plants (close to sunset so the leaves do not burn). Should take care of it after one or two applications. :)
