All clear/white couldn’t see any spots like you would on a two spotted spider mite. Plant was about 2 ft tall and I found 2 on the underside of a leaf. They look similar to a Hypoaspis miles with the whisker like back but I’m used to those just being in the medium and never on a leaf.

I’ve compared it to a bulb mite and spider mite but again the whisker like back throws me off. I don’t see any webbing anywhere. They move decently quick.

I have introduced Andersoni and Cucumeris in the past but again don’t think this is them.

Any help?

@Chem77 I don’t think so, body shape is different. Tough to see on the video. Need a better scope..

Another look but again, tough to tell. The upload distorts it a bit too

Looks like a spider mite but it does have some whisker looking things coming off the back. I had some that were red and ended up being native to Florida. I had someone send me clones and next thing I knew I seen these red little bastards running around. Order some beneficial mites could do the trick?
