Spider Mite Damage Pattern on Giant Pumpkin Leaf
This image shows the two leaves in the center of the picture with significant spider mite damage, but if the surrounding leaves are inspected the damage is visually minimal. This shows a spider mite hot spot and early stages of plant damage compared to previous images.
It can be difficult to inspect interior portions of the plant without causing physical damage, however if something like this is seen in your pumpkin plant it is worth a very close inspection of the leaves upper and undersides.
On the lower leaf there is almost a lane that can be see where the spider mites likely progressed (in a line) from one leaf to the next because at the power portion of the leaf there is the least amount of damage and this would be the greatest distance for the spider mites to travel.
