Devastating Infestation

[Kerry Lee Tucker]

Dear Net-folk:

   Does anyone have experience with a small spider (under 1 mm in length) of
tan color which builds webs along the flowering bolts of A. thaliana and 
amongst the flowers?  Infested plants suffer yellow discoloration followed by
wilting and slow death.  This bug is wreaking havoc in our plant room and
soon will destroy everything!!  If you know how to handle the scourge,
please respond to me at kerrylee at athena.mit.edu
  Panicked, K. L. Tucker
