It looks like insect damage. Best to check the leaves with a microscope. If they're not immediately visible, that could be mites.hi fam...
can someone help identifying what this is?
Ladybirds are predator insects, which are often used against spider mites.thanks guys... although i was also fearing bugs (mites) or something like mr J said... but ive checked with a microspoce and indont see nothing (unfortunately i know hoe to spot them cuz ive had them waaay back) ..
new growth seems ok but slightly affected but that’s nothing...
and luckily i found a lady bug on my way home and put her in the garden just in case )
here arw some pics from today maybe its more visible
Ladybirds are predator insects, which are often used against spider mites.
So maybe that's why she's camping out there. She found a food source.
wow thats a bummer-hope it doesn’t happen again to you..
yeah i’m checking daily with a scope and nothing.. and all other plants look ok without any of this “damage “
That last set of pix = Thrips. Absolutely thrips.
I'll eat my hat if not
Doesn't matter that you carried the lady bug in or not, it will only stay if it has a food source.
Those thrips will keep it fed momentarily, but IME that 1 insect will not eliminate your garden issue. js
