Hi, I was the proud owner of my first bonsai, a chinese elm today until I realised it seemed to have insects on the leaves, they are very small and blackish-grey, they are not spider mites as I have seen those on plants before but I can see a few odd threads in places (might have been a spider and unrelated) but if anyone can help I would appreciate it, there is evidence of some nibbling but it’s not exactly an infestation, I couldn’t find many and they were on the underside of the leaves, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks
