These spider mites?

Look like them. No damage yet, but there is a lot of them. Gonna have to soap them up, I think.

You will see small webbing and a bunch of little spots on the leaves with spider mites. Looks like those are chiggers. Which are of the mite family.

Yeah I didn't see any webs. When you smash them it's all red.

Much bigger than spider mites too, reminds me of the winter grain mites I got on my canna one year. Whole house was covered in them. Prolly from the corn field out back. Little different coloration though

If they leave a red stain when you squash them they're more than likely clover mites. They mostly feed on grasses and weeds. They can feed on plants but don't really do any damage according to what I've read.
