It's out in my garden shed. I'll try to remember to write it down and give you the name. I sprayed it early this morning with a little pyrethrem and soapy water. I won't know if it does any good for a week or two.
The trouble with spider mites and whiteflies is not just what they do to the older fading plants but what they do to the new ones trying to survive in this heat. They can really sap a new seedling pretty fast and they don't yet have the root system to make up for the loss of moisture. I usually have to fight them off of my seedlings planted for fall tomatoes every year.
