What eats the leaves of castor bean plants?

Seems to only happen at night.  No bugs seen on the leaves during the
day.

I thought these plants were toxic.

Earwigs maybe?

probably slugs or snails

The best solution for slugs is a saucer full of beer. They are attracted
to the beer and then drown in it.
