Spiders Or Spider Mites?

  1. I always see these in our front flower beds and on the concrete steps and hand rails. I always thought they were spiders, anyone?

    Oh wow, thank you so much!

    Yes so very helpful :)
     
  5. Look very closely for 6 legs, pair of antenna and the telltale dual exhaust nubs. If they fit that description they are likely aphids. Cant tell from images if those have 8 legs or 6 + 2 antenna.

  7. Not talking about your pics, they're nothing like what the OP posted. As you said too big to be 2 spotted mites.
