Their feeding damage on leaves can superficially look similar, with tan-brown spots/mottling on the surface of the leaves, indicating areas where plant cells die. The difference is thrips do not build webs, but if spider mites are present, webbing is noticeable, especially on the underside of leaves where the leaf and stem meets
I have delt with mites more times than I like to admit
Ya beating a dead horse

Impact of Mites and Thrips on your plants​

THRIPS​

SPIDER MITES​

VISIBLE DIFFERENCES
  • White bite marks are randomly spread out on the leaf
  • Live on top of the leaves. By looking closely you can see them crawling around.
  • Spreading can occur randomly across the plants.
  • White bite marks centered along the main rib and veins of the leaves
  • Live under the leaves.
    The best way to see them is placing a white paper under an infested leaf and tapping on it.
    If you have spidermites you’ll see things (eggs and mites) fall on the paper.
  • Spreading occurs by touching leaves or nearest plants.
 
Can you please point out the thrips.
Then normally do not live under the leaves.
No,, because I'm tired of yanking your chain. Plus I gotta go make coffee.😁
It's Subbies turn.😱
