I have something infecting my lily pads, I think they are spider mites. They look like little spiders, and they cause spots on the leaves and the plants look unhealthy. On the other hand, maybe the spider mites are the symptom and not the cause. I think they're bad, but also the other bugs and the fish seem to enjoy eating them so its all good. But I don't think the lily pads are happy about it. Which leads me to another wonder, which is why are some of my water plants looking dried out? They live in the water, how could they be dried out! When I fill up the pool, the little mites all climb on top of each other to escape the water.
