    It looks like leaf miner damage.

    I use 1 capful of fish emulsion to a 16 oz mister of water..shake well, then spray plant thoroughly being sure to get the underside of the leaves. Once a month treatment usually will keep the adults from laying eggs. Also an added benefit it will feed your plant, it is organic so it won't burn your plant. Just don't over do it because it is fertilizer and just to warn you it does smell fishy. Not really bad but you can smell it. Maybe someone else has another remedy.

    I have no experience with this pest (thank goodness) but [thread=16503]here[/thread] is a recent thread on leaf miners.
