Not sure what the 'burn' type marks are in the first 3 pics, could possibly be a number of things. Having said that, the first pic looks to me to be a systemic problem, such as over watering - but, not seeing the whole plant makes it a bit more difficult to diagnose.
Pics 2 & 3 essentially look like healthy leaves to me - but again, pics of the entire plant might be more enlightening.
Pic 4 is definitely, as cincinnana puts it, a 'nibbler'
Maybe an update on how they are doing and pics of the entire plant(s) may shed more light.

Without posting more pics, needless to say the one with the 'nibbler' that ate straight through the stem appears to be dying. All the leaves are turning brown and folding in and the stem is turning black emanating from where the hole is. I seem to have saved the other one by some combination of moving it inside and introducing a systemic pesticide. It's got a new, healthy leaf coming out. Sadly, this is a 1 out of 4 survival rate.
