La araña roja es un pequeño ácaro de 0´5 mm en su etapa adulta.
Se suele alimentar de plantas de ambientes secos.
Se las llama arañas rojas debido a su capacidad de tejer telarañas pero no es un arácnido sino un ácaro.
Su variedad alimenticia es muy elevada pudiéndose alimentar de cientos de plantas distintas,
Su variedad alimenticia es muy elevada pudiéndose alimentar de cientos de plantas distintas,
entre ellas casi todas las hortalizas y las ornamentales más comunes.
Son muy difíciles de ver a simple vista, quedando reducidos a nuestros ojos a minúsculos puntos de color rojo, a no ser que se encuentren en un número realmente grande ya que es entonces cuando podremos ver mantas de estos insectos y considerables formaciones de telarañas.

Son muy peligrosas para la planta debido a que se alimentan de los contenidos celulares, devorando célula por célula dejando una débil y pálida mancha que contrasta con el verde de alrededor.
Si bien estas manchas no son muy grandes individualmente hay que considerar que una sola planta puede ser atacada por miles de estos ácaros lo cual reduce considerablemente la capacidad fotosintética de la planta debilitándola y llevándola incluso a la muerte.
The red spider mite is a small 0.5 mm as adults. They usually feed on plants dry environments. They are called spider mites because of their ability to spin webs but not a spider but a mite.
Your food variety is very high being able to feed hundreds of different plants, including almost all vegetables and common ornamental.
They are very difficult to see with the naked eye, being reduced to our eyes tiny red dots, unless they are in a really big number because that's when we see blankets of these insects and considerable formations cobwebs. They are very dangerous for the plant because they feed on the cell contents, cell by cell devouring leaving a weak and pale spot contrasting with the green around. While these spots are not large individually consider that a single plant can be attacked by thousands of these mites which greatly reduces the photosynthetic capacity of the weakening and bringing even plant death.
