| I'm a new vegetable gardener. I battled spider mites last year, and lost. This year we fought again, and I won. But now I have these little things all over my tomatoes. I would love help in identifying them.

| They're not a problem if they aren't doing anything bad to your tomatoes. |
|
| The tomato plants (seven varieties) seem to be dying rapidly. Leaves are browning and little black dots are everywhere, and not the mites. |
|
| Little black dots can be caterpillar poops. |
|
| None of the small dark "lines" are a problem. The fruit looks fine. Images of the plants overall & midway would help us make a decision about what's going on. |
