| I hate to say it but that looks like mites . I would suggest a miticide . |

| Keep an eye on things. Often, the pests will go after the tender new growth. If things don't improve on their own, you'll need to take action. |

| This happens with all the peppers ihave tried growing. They grow fine for about two months, then the leaves start growing little. I thought maybe it was something else, but not bugs. I really cant see any bugs. |

| Looks like pests to me. Aphids always cause distorted new growth on my plants. Eventually, the plants grow vigorously enough that the aphids can't keep up. Josh |
