What color are spider mite eggs?

Spider mite eggs are typically clear to pale green in color, which allows them to blend in with the leaves and stems of host plants. This coloration can make them difficult to spot, particularly when they are laid on the underside of leaves. The clear eggs often become more noticeable as they mature and may take on a slight tint, but they initially start off very light. Recognizing the color of spider mite eggs is essential for effective pest management, as early detection can lead to timely interventions that prevent significant infestations and damage to plants.
