OK...I got a good picture of...what I assume to be Aphids or Red Spider Mites. Unfortunately, it just happens to be on my......Autumn Fern! Grrrr. Just got finished getting spider mites off my Coleus and Persian Shields! Now I gotta hose all my ferns. Geez. Is this really worth the trouble? LOL

Anyway, here are the pics I took of my Autumn Fern. At first I thought maybe they were the spores and perhaps they start out red then turn black. Then I saw the webbing at the top of the frond. That would make them Spider Mites right? Or do I have Aphids AND Spider Mites? LOL
