Anyone know what this is?

My Box Car Willie's foliage is all covered with what appears to be an extremely
fine spider web. After examining with a magnifying glass, I see thousands
a speck sized rust colored moving insects that are far too small to determine
that they are actually spiders, but they definitely move around the web.
I don't find any larger insects that might be parents to these extremely
minute little bugs.

They don't appear to have damaged the plant and it is still setting fruit, but
I really don't want it to spread, so sprayed with a bug spray. I marked all
current maters for seed and not eating.

Anyone got the answer?
