Can someone please tell me what the heck is this thing or pest on my Pacifica? It's not a bad infestation but it's increasing, so I want to take action before it gets out of control. 

Thanks!!

That would be palm leaf skeletonizer. Very common. You can take a water hose and wash them off, or can use Sevin to spray them.
