Yes I know a better camera is needed. If possible, I think next time I'll try my 7D. Another issue I'm having in taking a good shot is that I'm using LED lights, terrible for the camera. The magnifier I'm using is a Carson 30x, not all that they claim. I can see the bugs move during magnification, not sure if I would consider them fast. As I said, they have black bodies and beige/cream colored head. I've only ever seen the red ones, not these. I will look to see their progress (living/dead) . What is a predator mite, are they harmful to the plant as well?

Once again thank you all for all of your assistance and suggestions.
