Grape Mite - Colomerus vitis
The Grape Mite galls the leaves of grape vines resulting in small bumps appearing on the leaf surfaces, with a corresponding hollow below which appear as white furry patches. The minuscule mites live in these patches.
When recording the galls please state the host plant and provide photographs of both the upper and lower surfaces of the galled leaves.
