After taking another look it could be leaf miners, not fungas gnat larvae.
I'll put a quick shout out to @Pennywise he's sure to have seen this in the past.
I'm not sure, I've seen pics before but I'm not sure where. Spray with a water & alcohol solution mixed 4/1. That should rain on their parade. Lol

Spray the under side of the leaves real good.
Here's some info regarding the leaf miner from a great thread on this site. If in fact it is leaf miners the Neem oil will indeed work. But they are pesky. Look real close at the image and I think that critter is the same under your leaf.
Leaf miners
These Little creatures are a pain to get rid of, the miners eat and dig squiggly lines into your leaves all the while planting there larvae in them making it hard to get rid of them. They plant there eggs in the leaves in mid When they hatch they feed off of your leaves until they get big enough to pupate. Pupation occurs within the leaf or in the soil beneath the plant. After they emerge the entire cycle will start over and you will have a bigger infestation.
Controls
Controls: Natural control for these insects is difficult. You can remove affected leaves and discard them. Chemical control is hard and is meant towards the emerging adults. Since the larvae is well protected within the leaf. Neem oil will work well.

I had something similar to that. I pulled the couple leaves that had it and it never came back.

That's looks exactly like it. Hopefully it doesn't come back after I sprayed all the plants and cut off the affected leaf. Thanks!I had something similar to that. I pulled the couple leaves that had it and it never came back.

I was frequenting a different site when this happened. Nooooobody have a clue. And there were some really smart folks there. They all said it was something i sprayed on the leaf, but it was just a few and they werent all together. Just pull the afflicted leaves till you get a better answer! Good luck.
They would be even smarter if they read the threads here

Nawwww...if I was trying to suck up I would mention @Teddy Edwards name so he could read the post. Good thing I didn't do that.
