What's eating my beets?

Something's doing a number on my young beet plants. I think they're also chewing the leaf stems on my summer squash, but that's just a guess. It doesn't seem to be slugs. Could earwigs or pill/sow bugs do this? Or is some nocturnal beetle to blame?

Whatever it is, it makes some well-defined, sharp cuts.

I guess now is a good time to do an "all-nighter", I'll get up all night with a flashlight to check it out. Vigilance is the price of gardening it seems.
