Default I hate spidermites

Set up a window fan blowing toward where you find them. Most small insects
don't want to be around a place that is breezy. Let it run for a few days,
then shut it off and see if they have left. Dwayne

If it is bright Red then it is a red mite, beneficial, red spider is more

a
brick/gingery red, smaller and harder to see, if you think you have red
spider then a quick spray with a fine spray of water will show if they

have
spun webs on the plants, if no webs then you are OK,
Red spider mostly found on the under side of leaves, don't move very much.
red mite found on soil, bricks etc, scurry round quite fast.
