The Same thing happened with me too, luckily I didn't lose any plants... (knock on wood) If you garden near a pond I guess this a problem you could have in June. It is amazing to me just how many problems you can encounter with these plants.

If this becomes a regular problem I would suggest burying some poultry netting or hardware cloth to discourage the snappers in the "critical drop zone".
