spider mites
Tiny leaf suckers
Spider mites are tiny arachnids that feed on plant sap, often causing yellowing, stippling, or webbing on leaves.
Despite their name, they're not true spiders but belong to the same class.
They thrive in hot, dry conditions and can devastate gardens and houseplants: The tomatoes are infested with spider mites.
