Spider mites / bugs ?

7 years ago

Does anyone know what these weird light brown/pinkish tick type bugs are on my euphorbia?

I have seen thin webbing on a couple other euphorbias recently and used a soft brush to brush those with diluted rubbing alcohol and also Bayers systemic insect control. They seem to be doing fine. Then this morning I saw no webbing on this euphorbia, but lots of these small light brown bugs on one of its flowers.

Anyone know what they might be?

    -Maybe these?-

    Just a wild guess, found them by googling. Yours look more brown, but photo is not sharp enough for me to compare. Do they look similar?
