IME botias do minor damage to plants, but if you pick hardier plant species they should be ok,

try them on courgette, peas or potato, as mine go mad for them
 
thanx davo they arnt decimating the plants just a little hole here and there in the swords

Swords are the things they hurt the most, but not too badly IME. It's usually just some holes that do not really hurt the plant. Most other leaves they seem to leave alone.
