Thrips are small, delicate-looking insects with fringed wings. Multiple species of thrips feed on peppers and a broad range of other host plants. Heavy thrips feeding distorts plant growth, causes deformed flowers and results in silvery or whitish patches, reveals the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program. However, thrips are most problematic because they spread tomato spotted wilt virus.
Maintaining a weed-free area around the garden and spreading reflective mulch around young pepper plants can help to minimize thrips problems. Multiple species of aphids, pear-shaped, soft-bodied insects that tend to cluster on leaf undersides, potentially feed on pepper plants. Heavy aphid feeding causes plants to turn yellow and forces leaves to curl downward and inward.
According to the University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program , these pests also excrete honeydew, a shiny-looking, sugary substance, as a byproduct of feeding that hosts sooty mold fungus growth and attracts foraging ants.

Leaves Curling Upward. Why is my Monstera deliciosa drooping and curling. Monstera Curled Leaves, why?! I'll jump in and third that! That was my first guess even before the pic, but since I hardly ever grow peppers I was waiting for some to the Pepper Experts to weigh in!
Really nothing wrong with that plant. Moisture can have an effect but peppers don't like cool nights especially the chile types. This may be a little late, but did you check calcium? Your plant looked large enough to be deficient in things, and this looks like calcium maybe. I don't know about the shredding but the leaf down near the soil surface really looks like a leafminer has set up camp.
They have to come out of the leaf sometime, maybe shredding then results. Don't know. My experience with leafminers hasn't been on peppers. Spinach, beets and chard are sometimes plagued I just take the leaves off and grind them underfoot. Here's something from from the U of Minnesota on this idea. LINK They list peppers.

Pepper Leaves Curling? LoadedFront 9 years ago. I have a picture I could post, but don't see that as an option. Inexperienced forum member, too. Any help greatly appreciated. Email Save Comment Both tomatoes and peppers grow best in soil that remains evenly moist; the soil generally requires about 1 inch of water weekly.
The plants may need more frequent watering in hot conditions or in soil that drains quickly. Laying mulch on the soil around the plants, but not touching the plants, can slow soil water loss and help prevent water stress-induced leaf roll. If too much water is the issue, then either reduce watering or plant the vegetables in raised garden beds to aid drainage.
Other cultural conditions also can result in leaf roll. Severe pruning, which is more of a concern for indeterminate tomato varieties than determinate varieties, can leave the plants stressed. Avoid removing too many leaves or stems at one time, and instead prune the plants over the course of several days so they can recover. A nitrogen deficiency in the soil may cause leaf roll, too. Soil testing determines nitrogen levels and provides a guide to the type and amount of fertilizer required to reverse the problem.
Root damage and transplant shock usually affect only newly planted seedlings. Avoid disturbing the roots when transplanting pepper and tomato plants, and transplant on an overcast day to minimize shock in the plants.
