@lukeharby@infosec.exchange not a botanist but I like searching for stuff like this. spider mites seems to be the closest contender. See If you can see tiny red dots within the web. There’s also a fungal thread blight, and wooly aphids, but the pictures I find online are nowhere near that uniform distribution like in your photos. Also, I’ve seen such questions under #plantid and #bugid tags

@ftranschel @peteorrall yeah perhaps “in a different userland” is more appropriate (less charged with implication)

@peteorrall my friend always said gentoo is FreeBSD in the wrong userland. (Not helpful for newcomers but reinforces your point).
