I had to bring in my potted plants cause we had a bad storm. I figured I would take this time to "bathe" them real good with the kitchen sink nozzle or bathroom shower head. We've had a bad spider mite break out here the last few weeks, so I try to bathe the plants every week. While bathing my sweet potato vine, I ran across this little critter. It isn't very big. It's about the size of the letter "T" on your keyboard. I am hoping someone can tell me what it is so I know if it beneficial or not.
