Hey y’all

Been worried about one of my Abyssinian bananas, the new cigar leaves start off growing well but just before they completely unfurl they develop brown spots sized between a dime and a half dollar.

Until today I had thought it was windburn or sunburn on the unfurled cigar leaves. But I found this little worm on the newest cigar leaf

Unfortunately it had already done its damage

and it will probably turn brown and dead by tomorrow. Now that the sun is down I’ve sprayed the whole garden with neem oil, but I haven’t had any luck looking up info as to what this little worm could be and how to prevent them from coming back. Stranger yet is that there is another Abyssinian right next to it that hasn’t had a single issue ??
