What's eating my house plant?

I had to move my Red Star Spike indoors when I moved to a flat without any outside space.

It didn't seem very happy with the move and the leaves got patches of what almost looked like rot (second pic).

Now something is actually eating the leaves. I tried to take a photo of one of the little things that I found all over the plant (first pic). I have no idea if they are eggs or droppings or larvae.

If anyone could tell me what is eating the leaves and/or what to do I would appreciate it a lot.

Sorry I couldn't zoom in closer.

Thanks,

Laura

If you're referring to the brown 'scabs', they're symptomatic of a physiological disorder called 'oedema' that (usually) arises from use of a poor soil and/or over-watering.
