Q.Camellia leaves going brown and dropping
Unopened buds dying and flowers turn brown and drop off. I have seen a small insect with a tiny web. How can I treat it?
The presence of webbing suggests spider mites. For more information on spider mites and a course of treatment, please visit the following links:

Based on your description, I also wonder if perhaps your camellia may be suffering from petal blight as well which is a fungal disease that occurs in spring caused by an abundance of moisture. The bud drop would also be explained by an abundance of moisture.
