Body is globular, yellowish to greenish and is often marked with darker spots on the back.
The body has eight legs. The mites spin protective webs of silk over infested plant surfaces. Outdoors, twospotted spider mites may overwinter as adults or continue to breed on host plants in mild winters or indoors. Adults lay clear to yellowish spherical eggs, often suspended in a fine web of silk on the undersides of host plant leaves. Spotless, clear greenish to brownish six legged nymphal stages hatch from eggs and develop into 8 legged nymphs as they molt two more times.
