I posted this pix to another thread
The close up is better than my own eyes! The leaves on my little tree look a little off colored and hungy. I did notice that and I :have fed it. But do the baby lemons look like it has an infestation of some kind? I didn't see anything under the leaves. Maybe I should take a close up pix of the leaves? Thanks for your help. I tip my hat to you.

Looks like spider mites to me. You can see some fine webbing. I use Azamax on my lemon tree since I want to eat the fruit. Others may have used other sprays. Whatever spray you use, do it on a cloudy day when the sun isn't so fierce and spray both sides of the leaves and the branches and trunk. You may need a second application in 10 days for any hatchlings.

I generally get spider mites on plants while they're inside for the winter and have to spray a couple of times. They can get out of control rather quickly and I usually spray all of the surrounding plants as well. A forum acquaintance who also does indoor citrus told me about Azamax. It's an OMRI contact insecticide and will take a day or two to kill off those suckers and might not prevent future problems.
