These white streaks have started to show up on my marigolds and cucumbers, I’m worried they may be diseased, can anyone identify what seems to be the issue?

Following because I have no idea except to say it looks like a slime trail
I believe it is called a leaf miner ? Its a bug eating ur leaves.
Happened to a few leaves of mine, I just cut them. (Im a beginner tho)
Tuta absoluta. Which is devastating. I’m sure you know someone who has a horror story starring this menace.
Cut the leaves with the stem, and burn them, yes burn them. Check the plants everyday for a week to see if you find any new trails, if you do, repeat the process. This is how I managed them in my tomatoes.
They bury themselves in the stems and damage everything they look at. And then they bury themselves in the fruit, if you ever saw a tomato with a tiny dot and then you cut them and find a worm house with tiny worms, they are the culprit.
Good luck!
(Edit: repost, I had to put a flair. Disclaimer, that’s not my country, it’s actually my neighbor. Couldn’t find the option for my country on the list)
