Looking at the pictures, I think it is fungi infection,not the bug bites

@JohnLivo, For insect damage where the leaf is eaten, I can usually find the insect responsible close to the damage area. Usually a caterpiller or beetle type. Also, insect frass is normally found in such cases.

The article about it says treat with “Fixed Copper in the Fall”. So there is nothing I can do to fight it until the Fall?

What exactly would I do in the Fall? Spray with copper before leaf fall, or after leaf fall?

I do have a copper product, not sure exactly though what Fixed copper would be.

Thank you for any help you can offer!
