    Default Strange new beast? Spidermite??

    Gday cobbers.

    I've been having a scout today and whilst there are no signs of damage,,I've found crawlers. Far smaller than any spider mite I've seen in my life, also black. Very tiny

    I'm now 3 weeks into 12 12 so I don't want to spray with anything now. I've been scouting throughout the grow and this is the first leaf beast I've found

    Any advice ?
    When you do things right, people wont be sure you've done anything at all.

    If it's just the one then fine... just be aware in case there are more.

    ...Oh! No, I don't think it is spidermite

    I found two of the beasts on seperate leaves by the way so must be an established population of them, the plants haven't been exposed to outsiders for a long time

    No mate, not one of those. I've seen them before unless it's a juvenile morph

    Well there are still no signs of damage, so the beast must be friendly.

    I think Hotshot and Trex are both right. It looks like some type of weevil. There are many types. Weevils are a type of beetle.
