Common Plant Pests
Spider mite
Characteristics:
Spider mites are too small to be seen clearly with the naked eye. Usually plant damage is noticed before you spot the mites themselves. Sometimes the mites will be gone by the time you notice damage.
Mites flourish on water-stressed plants and in hot, dusty conditions. They suck plant juices and spin webs on infested leaves. Predatory mites can be purchased to control pest mites.
