yep, leaf miner. It usually isn't anything to really worry about unless the infestation is so bad that the plant can't get enough energy from the sun. By the looks of the plant in the picture there, ignore it. If the damaged leaf offends you, remove it. The plant should be fine.

As TCL says... ignore it...or lop it...
