A two-spotted spider mite is a tiny arachnid that is considered a major pest in agriculture. It is named after the two distinct dark spots found on its body. These spider mites are commonly found on a variety of crops and ornamental plants, where they feed on plant sap by piercing the cells with their mouthparts. The damage caused by two-spotted spider mites includes yellowing and wilting of leaves, webbing between leaves and stems, and the overall decline in plant health. These pests reproduce rapidly, with females laying hundreds of eggs, leading to rapid population growth.
