Figured out what was eating my Desert Rose leaves - Oleander Hawkmoth. Green version of a hawk-moth. These guys don't even make cocoons; they just lay on the dirt until they emerge. They were brought here to eat invasive oleander plants, but if they can't find any nearby, Desert Rose leaves are also in their diet.
