Hi all, had a small thrip case( very small) so added some swirski predator mites 2 weeks ago. I have noticed the plant struggling so looked under leaves and found hundreds of these. At first I assumed they were the predator mites but a quick Google search and they don't look like this.

Any pictures of damage it's doing on leaves?

It could be broad mite or perhaps even cyclamen mite. Maybe neither. Is this outdoor or indoor?

Having dealt with mould mites before I didn’t see any decline in my plants, they are attracted to anything that could have mould forming.

even the bacteria that attaches to root hairs etc are food for them.

some good wet dry cycles if you can and some H2o2 spray seems to deal with them.
