Adult male and female mites mate soon after emerging from the last nymphal stage. Generation from egg to adult occurs in 5 to 20 days, depending upon temperature. Many generations can occur per year. On light to moderately infested leaves, stipples are concentrated around the leave's midrib and larger veins. Leaves on more heavily injured plants can become yellowed, bronze and fall off.
All stages occur primarily on the undersides of leaves.
