Hey all. This chilli was started in June and taken inside for winter (I’m UK based, still has fruit and leaves and is getting sunlight). I’ve noticed these tiny red mites over it crawling around but no idea what they are. Can anyone ID and tell me how big of an issue they are? I don’t want them getting o to the new pepper seedlings I’m starting up if it’ll cause issues.

Red spider mites definately. Spray with soapy water
Spider mites 😬
Good predaceous mites only eat bad mites but I suspect it’s the bad kind. Telltale sign for two-spotted spider mite or European Red Mite is pale stippling on the top side of the leaves.
Spider mites indeed. Hate those little buggers, but there are good ways of getting rid of them.
