A specific strain of spider mite that is highly common in greenhouse-grown Chrysanthemums. It causes stippling (small yellow dots) on the leaves alongside dense webbing during periods of low humidity.
While less common for webbing, extremely high humidity in dense Chrysanthemum foliage can cause fungal hyphae to look like fine, hair-like structures. This is often confused with mite webbing when combined with leaf decay.
