my beetroot leaves are getting eaten. What could be causing this?

Last year we had a lot of trouble with locusts or grasshoppers, they love the foliage of spinach and beetroots. A good idea is to put nets over the vegetable beds, it gives a bit of shade and you can still water them without lifting the net.
