Q.Can You Identify These Tiny Bugs On My Hibiscus?

Zone 06473 | Anonymous added on February 8, 2025 | Answered

I have sprayed my hibiscus during the summer and fed them and brought them in for the winter. My leaves are starting to drop. I’m thinking that’s normal but three times I have dealt with these tiny little critters on the buds and ends of the hibiscus plant. I have sprayed them only to see them disappear for a while, any guidance you can provide would be appreciated. I did search for typical hibiscus bugs and none of them seemed the small and even if they’re there for a while I don’t ever see anything bigger.

Since there is webbing, I am going to say they are probably spider mites. You can try to control spider mites with a miticide. Or try neem oil spray.
