Looks like them to me! Check surrounding plants with a flash light those little guys can be hard to catch and definitely isolate from other plants. I use perfect plantista spray and will even dip a q-tip in the solution and get every hard to reach surface. The q-tip method can be time consuming but well worth it. You have to treat it in several rounds to get each generation of mites. Isolate the plant for about a month and check back every few days.

Thank you so much! I will do that!

I forgot to mention, spider mites gravitate towards young leaves. Unfortunately they get inside unfurled leaves and hide so I tend to cut new leaves off because it’s impossible to get those ones free of mites, but completed depends on amount of infestation.
