I think you have found the culprits. When leaves are eaten like this leaving the veins it is almost always some sort of caterpillar.
Also deal with the scales. they breed fast and suck the sap out of the tree. A horticultural oil - pest oil or similar works well.

Hi Shibui , yes found the Caterpillar , at first didn’t see them so tiny, I applied some lime sulfur for about 5-10 minutes to deal with scales then washed it I don’t know if this will help or not, and then i sow this white thing just jumping on the pot of the black pine do you know what is it first time i see something like this just jumping for one time I applied lime sulfur as well on them hope this is fine?

Unfortunately I don't recognise the white things.

I just checked and lime sulphur is listed to control some scales so I hope you have got them. Need to keep checking in case more new ones hatch out.
