Mites are small and are thus difficult to identify.
Mites are small and difficult to see with the naked eye.
Using a 10x hand lens will enhance your ability to see mites and their eggs. Spider mites can be detected by looking for the typical mite-caused damage, mites or symptoms of mite infestations such as cast skins and webbing. Spider mite damage is easy to see. The result is small clusters of empty cells that appear from a distance like stipples. These stipples turn brown or bronze after a while.
