Never seen anything like this, other than the turtles in super mario brothers.





Outdoor plant, in flower. Northern Argentina (kinda like a Mississippi/Louisiana climate).

Bug? Amphid is my guess, wanted to get some thoughts on it tho. You can also see small speckling on the leaf, im guessing from a mite or something chomping on it

Might be a European Red Mite: Linkage -> http://jenny.tfrec.wsu.edu/opm/displaySpecies.php?pn=290 I do not know if these are distructive to weed or not but being as they are related to the dreaded spider mite, I would assume so, Time for a pre-emptive neuclear strike mate.

Those little bastards live here in Indiana too but thankfully I have yet to see any.
