Butterfly Bush Leaf Damage

This is a picture of the type of leaf damage that my butterfly bush is experiencing. It seems healthy otherwise. I planted it last year and it thrived. This year it is even bigger and is beginning to bud. But the leaves are causing me a lot of concern. Could it be a fungus? It is planted in full sun, in well-drained, heavily amended (with compost) clay soil. I can find no insects on the leaves. Thanks, all.

It may be weevil damage. You would have to look at night to find them.
