Sorry palerider, I somehow missed this question.

The answer is yes you can see them with the naked eye. The adults look like tiny brownish moving spots. The immature ones look like a white spot, but you can see a black/gray spot(I assume is their guts). You can also see eggs on the leaves, and clusters of eggs near the central vein of the leaves undersides. Once a plant is infested (as my clone was when I first found them). There are mites and webs everywhere.
