Hi everyone, It's spring and for the first time I'm noticing a marked increase in red spider mites around the office spaces. I have not noticed any inside our herbarium collection space, which is well temperature and humidity controlled, but I'm wondering how concerned I need to be. We don't keep live plants anywhere in the building and from what I've read online that's their typical food source. I'm hoping as it warms up to summer temps that I'll see fewer of them. What are folks thoughts on this?
