Pest ID Help
Trying to figure out what this clear worm is, wrecking up my Adansonii's leaves. I noticed some slight webbing alon the underside of a leaf, so prepared to battle spider mites.
Made an alcohol/soap/peroxide solution and sprayed her down well.
Let it sit for a min, then rinsed and figured might as well trim up a bit. One of the leaves was chewed on, and this clear being was obviously the culprit. You can physically see the little leaf meals he's been enjoying, courtesy of Hamilton 😭 This uninvited guest was undeterred by the "mite spray" that it had just been assaulted with, so I decided maybe dousing it with some neem oil couldn't hurt. This M F -er acted like he's just back from the spa! Good news, fairly easy to wash down the drain, when staring the creature dead in the eye...
I'm planning to remove soil, transfer to leca (was already wanting to do this, not pest related), and while doing this give each vine a thorough rinse off and inspection, to ensure there is no infestation issue. Then, I will continue to hose down in shower thoroughly every other day, in addition to liberally applying neem oil and spider mite spray at that time until symptoms subside. Has anyone encountered these before? I am a relatively green plant parent, and have only really battled with fungus nats before. Any suggestions?

That’s what it looks like to me. Let’s add some hashtags to see what others see. #Monstera #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #help #PestControl #pestID #GregGang
Very bizarre,IDK. So far no new bugs spotted, but I continue to be vigilante. This plant is in my North facing window, all alone so not sure how it was infected, Aside from a critter sneaking in through the screen...they slide from bottom to top on my windows.
