The pale trails are the work of leaf miners, which are larva living
inside the leaves. The holes could be just about anything. You
need to look for the actual bugs.

There isn't much that can be done for leaf miners that are actually
in the leaves. Your defence there is to prevent the adults from
laying eggs.

Leaf miners also come from many species, so the treatment will
depend on which one you have and then your preferences.
