Is this little thing really what's destroyed my gardens?

I also was able to capture a small red colored bug that looks like a spider. Hard to see in the pics, I know. Found an egg too.

hi,

could you pls make a close up of the leaf i marked here if possible?
also, could you check the back sides of the new growth from IMAG0918, those leafs that changed color to purple/brown ( if i could distinct it at all )? you are interested if the situation is identical with backsides as with fronts there, or it's different back, what ever the difference might be.

say hello to your mites for me when you get a chance to do it
