Probably being a first-time paranoid grower

And I really do appreciate the info

there's red mites that aren't friendly. i get the buggers outside.
they chew the leaves up and web the plant up. they're easier to battle than the smaller ones.

clover mites maybe? here's one fully grown but they start off much smaller.

Looks like the one I smashed and after I smashed him no more white dots
