Strawberry Pest Update

I looked around online and found that there is a mite that secretes a small, silken thread while feeding. This must be it!! They are incredibly small and appear reddish-brown to green in color. I already had some pesticide approved for use on vegetables (including strawberries) so I sprayed the leaves. Apparently, these types of mites are not concerned with the berries of the plant and so some sources say it is unneccessary to try to control them. However, the leaves are taking a hit and that makes the plant look ugly and sad. Let us cross our fingers and hope I can save my strawberry plant from this awful pest!
