Steeler and Muknee are right- Thrips. They fly in and out fast you won't see them very often when you have already disturbed the plant. They will cause some damage, but in my experiences they will not subdue a plant. They are small cigar shaped insects, white in color.

NOT spider mites. That looks more like thrip damage.

Do the affected areas look almost silver? If so, it's likely thrips.

Azamax spray top and under side of leaves. Apply once every 3-5 days for a couple weeks and you should be fine.
