I went out this morning to water and found that something has attacked my pepper plants, eating huge circular holes in the leaves.
My basil plant and tomato plants are untouched, and it happened at night. No sign of the attacker anywhere. Help please!! I live in Az, it's hot and dry.

As torpe said, it looks like slugs.. Take a few small containers like the ones for butter spreads and pour beer in them and place them around the plants. For what ever reason slugs are attracted to beer. They go in and die.. I does work. You can also spray water with hot peppers and dish soap on the leaves which will also helps..
