and how can I fix it? I think that I am developing an insect problem and am worried about the leaves. Is this normal? Any help is appreciated.

I don't see anything wrong with them.

Farmerdill, please excuse my ignorance. I saw those white patches and assumed something was wrong. I have never grown zucchini before and thought that it was some kind of mold or mildew. Thanks.

Many squash and osme of the Zucchini cultivars have white splotches in the leaves. The deep lobes are also characteristic of some cultivars, but is more unusual than the white splotches. This is a winter squash but it has pretty white splotched leaves. Powdery mildew shows as a dull grayish white powdery look to the leaves. As long as colors are bright and sharp, you are in fine shape.
