Bug identification is there any entomologist?

Microscopes are really interesting tools but like @George said ignorance can be bliss.
Idk what’s there, it could be good/bad or indifferent idk.
Ultimately the plants say it all but its something I’d rather not concern myself with.

@Esrgood4u thank you bud, unfortunately I don’t have a pc these days, even my ipad is locked up because I’ve not used it in ages and idk what my apple iD is?
Previously when I put the sd card into my phone it worked with a little persuasion now it won’t register at all.

Idk the names of the creatures other than the springtails or spider mite.

@PadawanWarrior hey bud, i bought the microscope years back but looking into the eyepiece for long periods gets sore on the face lol.


Last year I bought a digital camera for it that fits the microscope, it’s a pleasure to use now having it hooked up to a screen/tv

A few random pic’s.


Springtails springy thingy.

Spider mite.

I had some cracking footage of foliar/water with and without a wetting agent on spider mite, i deleted the whole fkg folder by accident :slightly_frowning_face:
Without a wetting agent the hairs on spider mite create a safety bubble (surface tension) and they don’t even get wet.

With a wetting agent the water completely engulfs them and they drown.

It sounds unlikely but I cleared up spider mite with two applications of wetting agent, I didn’t allow for the eggs the 1st time so I used H202 the next time and haven’t seen them since that was last spring.
Spider mite eggs on a pin.


My main point being whatever you use on bugs/pests be sure to use a wetting agent or dish soap.
