Many types of specialty pest attacks the stems and leaves of plants, as I found today in the garden of my chilli tree leaves.

Caterpillars

The caterpillars are often nestle chilli plants including armyworm (Spodoptera litura). Caterpillars eat the leaves of this type until the hole-perforated so that disrupt the ability of plant photosynthesis. There was also a kind of caterpillars that attacks chilies, which is a type of Helicoverpa sp. and Spodoptera exigua. Caterpillars of this type make a hole in chilies either still green or red.
