# What are these?? It’s not dirt bc I’m looking at one crawl around on…

What are these?? It’s not dirt bc I’m looking at one crawl around on the petal!!

I looked at it because my flower which only bloomed last week of February is starting to die already! Last year it bloomed for 3 months straight!

EDIT: I believe I found some on my alocasias as well which makes sense because even though they’ve been growing, either their leaves haven’t been as big or they have looked a little extra droopy/yellowing despite getting correct water, humidity and lighting requirements :( I’ve been stumped as to what’s been causing it and I think this is it 😭 are these the same pests or different?

Usually spider mites are that tiny

I think spider mites - in that first pic at the bottom right hand corner I see some faint webbing at the base of the bloom.

Oh you’re right! I just checked and good eye!
