Cata with pet, maybe spider mites?!
Hi again,
I don't know what is this ... I am pretty sure is an insect but don't know for sure.
Any help, please ?

Those yellow spots do look like "something" took a bite. Don't think it's spider mites, which are very tiny. You could spray with soapy water or neem oil especially on the underside of the leaves... not toxic so won't hurt anything, maybe catch whatever it is. But at this point, vigilance is your best weapon... watch for changes.

I get those spots as well. As Roberta mentioned, it's not spider mites. I haven't noticed the spots being a problem for the plant.

Don't use dish soap, it's bad for plants! https://youtu.be/dVmOd1riBrU

I use Potassium Soup... for the entire garden, just when need it. I actually used before I even ask here. I don't use it with alcohol though.
Interesting video. I like the way he explains the facts.
Thanks for the advices. Looking really closely I have much more insect that what I thought I have.
