Are these spider mites? Are these spider mites? They first showed up on my mint plant a few weeks after buying it. A little bigger than the pictured and mostly dark brown ones that time. I squashed most of them and then sprayed with soap for about a week or two and they were mostly gone but after a few weeks they're back. I only see/saw them on the stalks not the leaves both times, and I've had leaves yellow and fall off both times as well (not sure if that's related or because of my watering habits). Previous time some leaves also started getting dark spotting before yellowing. Thanks!! Originally by u/RatDays on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2y986ql8
