Can anyone ID this? I found 1 the last 3 days. Today I found 2-3. on the leaves.
Someone mentioned if they move fast they're predators. Slow, bad bugs. These move not too slow/fast.

Ok, so i found A LOT more. Cut the major branches off that had the most. About 24 on one branch. 6 on another.
Shook the entire plant (they're only about 18" tall) and a few more fell out.
I noticed they leave lines on the leaves.

I'm on week 4-6 of flower.

It appears to be a two spotted spider mite.

Southern California

Any ideas on how to get rid of it? Hopefully it doesn't get worse. I need to be better at keeping things clean/isolated on my next grow.

It will get a lot worse. See any webs yet? They are known as the Borg of pests. Very hard to eradicate. 9 parts alcohol + 1part water spray. Don’t hesitate.
Good luck!

According to this, it's a clover mite:

clover mite - Bryobia praetiosa Koch

I noticed they were getting onto the plant by climbing the walls and onto the leaves so I moved the plant away from all walls. I also shook the plant on to a white sheet of paper so that I could see/kill any that came off. Seemed to get rid of them.
After harvest. cleaned the room and sprinkled diatomaceous earth all around the corners of the room and around the new pots and so far no more clover mites.
