I’m not sure if this is considered a foliage plant but does anyone know what might be happening to my licorice plant? There seems to be dirt underneath the fuzziness and the leaves are turning transparent. It almost looks like parasite eggs, but I don’t see any bugs.

It looks like webbing from spider mites. The black dots look like feces.
