My beautiful cucumber is being attacked and I don’t know by what :(. Does anyone know what can create this nets? They are full of tiny insect and the leaves that have them are dying :(.

What can I do?

Thank you so much! I was also advised to use dish soap with water :). Is that good?

Yes absolutely, again just make sure to thoroughly clean your veggies before consumption.

Also if the plant is healthy and has lots of leaves, you can remove the damaged / leaves with netting to decrease the mites repopulation rate.
