What is a "spider mite"?

A spider mite belongs to the family Tetranychidae and is known for its small size and ability to produce silk webbing. They are commonly found on the undersides of leaves, where they feed on plant tissues by piercing the cells and extracting the fluids. Spider mite infestations can result in discoloration, wilting, and an overall decline in plant health. These pests can reproduce rapidly under favorable conditions, making them a challenge to control in agricultural and horticultural settings.
