What is chewing on the grain Amaranth plant and ignoring the leaf amaranth?

Taste a leaf off the grain amaranth, maybe it's better than the leaf amaranth?

Maybe to them. I can’t tell any difference. The grain type is located on the downhill end of a raised bed, and the leaf type is on the uphill end of the same bed.

Maybe the critters haven’t found their way through the peanuts to the uphill end? Maybe the nutrient level/moisture is different?? Who knows?

Maybe one is more repellent to this particular insect. I am going to have to take a magnifying glass out there. So far I have not been able to detect a single bug.
