Using a jeweler's loupe or a magnifying glass for a better look is a good idea. I borrow my daughter's USB microscope if I want to take a closer look at a suspicious spot.

I'll order a loupe to keep watch for the future.

I haven't had any mites so far, which is great. BUT, when you have them will you actually see them crawling around? Are they similar in size and movement to spider mites that live on plants?
