I have a small flying nat situation but pretty much kept in check. I just noticed these wet looking spots on them on just on a few leaves today and I don't know if it's, from them or ?

Looks more like overspray than anything. A slime trail would be an actual trail, from one place to another, these are simply dots. If you got a picture of it among the rest of the leaves it would be easier to get some context but I highly doubt its snails/slugs.

How have you been dealing with the gnats?

Looks like thrip damage. Spinosad controls them. Put up some yellow or blue sticky traps to confirm.

the damage does look thripy, but those worms seem a bit big to be thrip larva, but who knows, its not a great pic, either way spinosad will help.

It almost looks like honey dew from scale or mealy bugs. Check the stems, petioles, and undersides of leaves above where you found the leaves with spots. Aphids also produce honey dew but those would be more noticeable.

Looks like house fly shit to me.

That shit COULD cause mold/mildew issues.
You may consider washing it off.
If you have thrip damage it won't go away until the affected leaf does.

No, there's no worms, thankfully.

I have used Spinosad a few weeks ago so that might be it, yet it's only on a few leaves like the ones in the pic. Otherwise they're fine.
