Default What ails my poor nanas?

When I bought this house it came with a ton of banana plants which had been neglected for years. Have no idea what kind they are, just know they are yummy.

So a couple of weeks ago my bananas were fine. Now they are being eaten quickly.

The leaves start out with holes,


then become partially eaten and mottled.


Very quickly the leaf is practically gone...


and there is a rolled leaf section...


inside the rolled section.


Also found these under one leaf.


I have not actually seen the pest that is causing this. Anyone have any idea what this is and what I can do about it?
