Linden tree has something wrong

Something is wrong with my Linden tree.

In the very early spring, something eats lots of holes in the leaves. It starts to happen about a week after the leaves come out. I have never noticed any kind of bug on the leaves.

The tree seems to be stressed from all of the leaf damage. It is starting to drop brown leaves already (Aug 18th) and in previous years all leaves have fallen before most other leaves in the neighborhood start to change colors.

For two years I used a Bayer systemic insecticide in May. It didn’t seem to make any difference whatsoever so I didn’t do it again this year.

Any idea what this could be?
