A few of my plants have 5 or 6 of these red bugs on them. Spider mites? How do I stop them? Early stages of flowering

those are chiggers. they won't hurt the plants, but will bury under your skin and itch like hell. once that happens, the only way to kill them is to cover their 'tunnel' into your skin with nail polish. then they die and are absorbed by your body.

A: Red bugs, chiggers, berry bugs, scrub-itch mites and harvest mites are all terms used to describe members of the family of insects known as Trombiculidae. These reddish-orange mites can be found worldwide, but they really enjoy hanging out in damp, grassy and wooded areas, especially at the edges of forests.

they are chiggers. been dealing with those bastards for decades.

I wouldn't be able to put up with it. They're like a tick I would fog the shit out of them.

too many acres to fog. access to the river was always through brush, weed, and reeds. they were unavoidable in summer. fortunately, that's the only time of year they were bad, about july to late september...

haven't seen any since i moved out of that state ;)
