Blackfly and unidentified pest

[cheekychops]

Hi

My single lockdown auto plant has got some unwanted friends. Blackfly have taken over my nearby beans and are easily identified - I might just wash then off with a weak soap mixture unless anyone has a better solution.

 

And then I have the peculiar white spiders. I didn't think I  could see them see them in Bart's guide so wondered if they're mites? Or are the white shapes exoskeletons from the darker spider pictured at the bottom of the shot?

I've chopped the offending bud off and can't see them elsewhere, but I know I might have to bin the whole lot unless I can identify and deal with quickly. I'd say it's a week to two before harvest time...

Any help would be much appreciated.

don't be doing that mate, that's a waste, there are not many pests to worry about and that doesn't look like one.

 

second from bottom is greenfly, just hose off

That's a relief - thanks a lot!
