Thrips, leaf miners...what next?? I did suspect the leaf minor when I looked at the image magnified. Sorry the pic' wasn't any clearer. Attached is an image of what I believe to be a thrip, am I correct? Also still curious as to the species of spider-mite that I have. They appear to have a black body, cream colored head. The body is not spotted like the 2 spot. I can't seem to find it in my search online.
