Very Small Worm

My plumeria had four nicely colored leaves (started cutting in August) and returned from a business trip yesterday to find a missing leaf. Thought the plant may be going dormant, but brought inside from garage and found a small web in the leaf protrusions and removed a small white worm about 1/8" long. This is my first plummie and am looking for suggestions, but it's out of the garage for now and in a sunny SW facing window.

Thanks to all for the help.

Mike, I don't know that the web and the worm are specifically related. small webs like that can be associated with spider mites. Could you try a product like Bayer 3 in 1 or Neem oil? I think both will give you good results.

kms2,

Thank you. Will pick up one of those this weekend and try.
