Some of my squash leaves are being skeletonized. I've never had this problem before, and I can't find any bugs around the plants. Any guesses?

Japanese beetles are the only ones that do that to my plants.  Not sure if that did it to yours, but it sure looks the same.

I'm guessing Japanese beetles as well but a pic would help.

Squash beetles can skeletonize squash leaves.  They resemble a giant ladybug that is yellow with black spots.
