Bugs poking holes in veins of leaves. Leaves now falling off

First, saw holes down the middle veins of the leaves. Then, they went all the way down & now the leaves are dying all the way. Photos show it better:

this morning I had full sets of leaves in the pots. They are cutting off at the base of the leaves. I guess soap & Neem oil would probably do it, but I can’t find what is causing it, and am curious. any guesses?

Look at the leaves carefully at night.. some bugs or worms come out then.. my guess is its a worm of some kind..

Definitely looks like something boring/burrowing into the vein

Oh yeah.. check the main stem for bore holes.. maybe a little bastard hiding in one
