Those look like spider mites, not fungal. You need an insecticide labelled to kill red spider mites. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see webbing.
those things give me the creeps. they are so hard to fight once they get a good hold. another thing that will work, but you have to be faithful with it, is to hose it off ALL over every single day for at least a week, maybe a little longer. spidermites can't live where it's wet or at least they don't want to. the first two days i would use a liquid soap in the water, like ivory or any dishwashing soap really. normally i use dr. bronner's but you need to do something now, like right now!!
great pictures by the way. you really captured the little freaks. can you tell i hate them?
I hate them, too !
Look at the vine on Feb/26/2009 .
I think I going to trim her down and give her some bubbles bath.!
Thanks ,

in the future, be sure to mist the plant (not water) at least every other day when the weather is hot and dry. spidermites thrive in hot, dry, windy weather.
