Identify & advise treatment Shamrock wicked-pests. HELP I thought I had this thing licked when I snipped them all off, dried the bulbs for a couple weeks, and repotted in new soil in a new pot. But the invisible buggers have struck again. Can anyone offer insight into what is happening here? Under the microscope, I can find no critters, but I can see the fleshy green goodness is sucked out of the little structures of the leaf leaving little windows that let light through.

The damage to the leaves could be caused by thrips. I'm sure someone else here will be able to confirm this for you or offer another probable cause.
Well there are no signs of tiny insects. Though they may fall off or hop away when I disturb the plant?
I don't know what it is, but it does look like insect damage. You could try bathing the leaves in lukewarm soapy water from time to time.
For some reason I can't see the photos but I feel your frustration :-x I have fought fungus gnats until I thought I'd go nuts!!! Sometimes you just have to toss out the infected plant and save yourself any more gray hairs :-? just saw the pictures...for some reason, oxalis seem to be really "bug friendly" in my house
