| Found these on the leaves of avocado, pomegranate, blueberry and several other plants. Are those spider mites or some other pest? |

| Looks like mildew. Spider mites eat the chloraphyl turning leaves to a bronze color. Easily seen under a pocket microscope like the one sold by Radioshack for around $15. |

| The white threads tip off this as a whitefly infestation. Sometimes mold occurs from the honeydew left behind by the whiteflies. Good luck! |
