    Does it fly? And, can you get a clear pic of it if possible?

      i don’t know if it flies because it is dead! and i cannot get a clearer pic i tried many times but it is immensely small (but shaped like a dead spider)

    Is there any webs around your plant, and is it kept in a dry climate?

    So then it’s definitely spider mites. To solve this problem, clean the webs off, spray insecticide, and keep the area around your plant humid (misting/water trays).

    Also, spider plants like dry climates and create webs around plants.
