Bug problem, can't tell what they are...

SWPitcher42 · #1 (**permalink**) 09-26-2008, 01:34 AM

I have a small bug infestation with my biggest baby right now, I really need to protect it it's lookin so good so far. Very small bugs, they definitely have antennae, can't tell how many pairs of legs because they're so small. They're very pale, almost milky colored, offwhite I guess you could say. They don't look like any spidermite I have seen on the internet, but could it be a spidermite in its earlier stages?? I have been picking them off the plant all day, and the rest of them are hanging out in the soil now, hopefully they got the message that fuckin with my baby is lethal. Any help guys, I'm stumped as to what they are

any small white dots clusterd in large ammounts? spider mites will climb into the soil if they need to.

Seeing any webbing under the fan leaves along main leaf stem? Any plant damage to speak of? Larve in the soil? Post pics so we can tell for sure. IMO Much Love.

They haven't been in clusters, but they certainly resemble small white dots, and they have all been in the soil since I started killing all the ones on the plant. I also just found a large amount of small, yellow, wormlike creatures in the soil, worms, or some kind of larvae? Luckily, I don't think the plant's life is at stake right now, I just don't know the best way to deal with this problem.

I haven't seen any webbing, but I think I may have gotten to them before they were able to make any. Really no plant damage to speak of either. Possibly the small yellow creatures I just mentioned are the larvae? I'm afraid my subpar camera won't produce any kind of worthy resolution, but I'll give it a shot.

I found them back on the plant this morning, and now it looks like there are some small, dull, white looking spots on the stem where they have been crawling, anyone have any ideas what to do?
