Or slugs.. is there any slimy residue?

Nothing feels slimy but I have seen some slugs near

Also caterpillars ? Found one in my bell peppers this morning 🥲

Caterpillars for the most part eat from the edge in, but there are a few species that will make holes in the middle. This looks more like snail/slug damage or beetle damage, both of which are more prone to eat holes in the leaves
