can someone show me a pic of a spider mite? are they the bugs that you can press down on with your finger and make a red mark?
 
I don't have any pics, but they're unmistakable.

They're about as big as a period, red/brown, and usually hang out on the undersides of leaves.

Some will be moving, the darker, unmoving "dots" are usually eggs.

If you wanna be 100% sure, use a magnifying glass and count the legs.
Spider mites have 8 legs.
