Help pleaseš One of my monstera leaves has these thin brown trails that look like pest, but Iām not sure which one. Other leaves donāt have these trails. I did the Planta diagnosis and online research, but I donāt think theyāre aphids, mealy bugs, or thrips. Any insight appreciatedš
[additional info] I have a cat and a dog, but I donāt think theyāre mechanical damages from them.

Oh thats so weird. It does kinda look like cat claws, but you'd think it puncture, unless they were just close enough to bat at it. You could wipe all the leaves down with and pet safe insecticidal just to be safe.

If itās fine webbing its spider mites
0 J'aime Thank you, Wolfen and Will! [update] my sister said she found a bump and āpopped it like a pimple and a little bug game outā but I couldnāt confirm what kindš so it seems like it is a pest, but still not sure what it is. Been on the internet looking for similar issues but nothing seems to match:(

this is making me wonder if it's scale - these only move when theyre in their younger stages, so maybe thats what it was?
0 J'aime Thanks , c.cat! I checked the photos for scale and I donāt think itās that at this point, but Iāll keep my eyes open. It looks different from a leaf miner that Iāve seen in other plants. I did so much search on the web but Iām still not sure what it is:/ I cut off the leaf, showered the plant. and hoping I wonāt see any more of them! Thanks all!
0 J'aime Thanks all for helping out! I contacted Dr. Planta and they told me itās an early stage thripsš glad we caught it, and learned something new:)
