Spider Mite Stippling on Giant Pumpkin Leaf
This is a good image of the stippling which essentially has the look like sandpaper was taken to the leaves as they look brown and scratched. This is because the spider mites pierce and suck out essential plant moisture causing the browning and ultimately the desiccation of the leaf.
What the image attempts to show is the area near the main veins of the leaf hold the color the longer in part because these are thicker portions of the leaf and resist the puncturing and feeding of the spider mites better.
However, even though the spider mites are present it is very hard to see them in the image.
