Definition as written by Terry:

A very small spider-like insect that sucks juices from the leaves of many plants. They are so small, they may be hard to see until their effects are noticeable.

Infested plants can eventually die from the effects. Control organically with beneficial insects or insecticidal soaps or horticultural oils or use sulfur sprays or traditional insecticides, depending on your personal preferences.
