Mites

Scientific name: Tetranychus urticae

Description

Signs of two-spotted mite activity include fine webbing arounds stems and leaves, with the mites themselves visible as tiny yellowish to green dots during the warmer months. They are at their most damaging during hot dry conditions, with activity decreasing in long periods of rain. Damage can appear as dry mottling or translucent spots on the flowers; on leaves damage may appear as faint yellow mottling on the upper leaf surface. Effected leaves usually become dried out and drop off the plant in severe cases, with fine webbing covering the feeding site.

In the cooler months and over winter the mites may become orange to red in colour. They generally are not as active in the cooler months, congregating under bark and at the base of trees feeding on more protected smaller plants.
