Is a spider mite an insect or is it actually a spider?
Question by: Kathryn Tator on Oct 22, 2020, 1:30 PM

There is something sticky on the plants' leaves in my garden. Do you know what it might be?

It is most likely the honeydew from "sucking" insects. These insects have mouthparts that allow them to penetrate the plant tissue and suck the juices of the plant.
