pests My very own aphid spider

[newhotstuff]

I think he's doubled in size now and I doubt I'll ever see an aphid again!!!! I tried to take a picture but he doesn't show up. He's a little bigger then a pin head and just chills out on my Aji Dulce

I had a couple of those running around my grow room. They are pretty neat. Does yours jump?

 

[newhotstuff]

No he built webbing everywhere!!! Was like there were 100 of them! Yeah very cool and very helpful too.

Nice! I'm busy killing aphids myself..

I just looked at the plant he's on and I believe it has a ton of eggs casings on it

beware of spider mites...once an infestation starts, you will see webbing all over the plants...

not saying that is what you have there...

spider mites are very very tiny...

I lost over 60 plants to spider mites this year before I got them under control. Not what you want on your plants.

I think I may have some spider mites on my strawberry plants. What did you use to control them? So far, I have only used beneficial insects but they don't seem to be interested in eating the spider mites. I need to stop them before they move on to the pepper plants.
