Please can someone help me with whether these are first signs of thrips? I’m really worried about my plants as when I came back from holiday I found my basil plants badly affected. I sadly threw it away to save the other plants but I’m worried about my monstera now. It was in a different room but has these tracking marks on the leaves, are they the first signs? Thanks so much.

Or is it a leaf miner?

I’m not that sure, but incase they are there are bugs you can get to get rid of them without having to throw out your plant or Damage it by trying another way, I’d inspect it to see if they r thrip marks
