The two-spotted mite, also known as the red spider mite, is described. It is tiny, around 0.5mm, greenish-yellow with two black spots on its back, and appears red in autumn. It enjoys spinning webs and sucking the sap of various plants like fruit trees, vegetables, roses, and berries. It dislikes predatory mites and insects. Signs of an infestation include mottled or bronze leaves that may fall off, and webs under leaves. Traditional controls included pesticides, while more natural alternatives involve attracting predatory mites with compost or mulch, spraying water or insecticidal soap, or vacuuming mites off
