I should have known weeks ago when I noticed the small yellow specks on the leaves of my Minneola Tangelo, but today I had my glasses on and noticed all of the little red specks--SPIDER MITES! -- so I gave them an oil bath.

I haven't seen any other pest other than a few white flies so far on the other trees, but I do have a bunch of lizards on my lemon.

Hey Skeet. Lizards are good, they eat the bad buds. All the Anoles have come to like in my yard as well & seem to be doing a good job of eating the insects... Tree frogs are also coming out in numbers !
