Default Red Spider Mite?? HELP!!!

Anne Jackson wrote:

Google search (pages in English only):
"Red spider mite" "jasmine" - 692 hits
"bug" "jasmine" - 297000 hits


Whereas "jasmine polyanthum + red spider mite" gives only 87.


And "jasmine polyanthum" "bug" gives 187 hits
But "jasminum polyanthum" "bug" gives 393 hits

So you still need to pose the correct question. The point is that no matter
if it's 87 or umpteen thousand hits, the OP got a sensible answer from this
group in a dozen replies. He could still be working his way through Google,
and never come up with the right answer because to most people "bug" and
"slug" are not the same thing, and a search on "bug" would not find "slug" -
the probable cause of the OP's problem.

It's never a bad idea to do a Google search first...


We are agreed on that.
