The results showed that found one mites’ species was two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. The red spider lives at the beginning of the infestation on the lower surface of the leaves to feed on the absorption of succulents, so that the affected leaves appear faded spots, and with the increase of the injury the spots increase and collect and turn into a light brown to make the whole leaf dry brown, and note the silk threads that the spider secretes on the bottom surface of the paper where the dust collects With spider waste, the paper becomes dirty.
