Strange thing on leaf.

Never seen anything like this, other than the turtles in super mario brothers.

Outdoor plant, in flower. Northern Argentina (kinda like a Mississippi/Louisiana climate).

Bug? Amphid is my guess, wanted to get some thoughts on it tho. You can also see small speckling on the leaf, im guessing from a mite or something chomping on it

call mario and luigi. looks like bowzer stopped by, they can get rid of this. dont forget if one attacks just jump on him. double gets him though.

Might be a European Red Mite: Linkage -> http://jenny.tfrec.wsu.edu/opm/displaySpecies.php?pn=290 I do not know if these are distructive to weed or not but being as they are related to the dreaded spider mite, I would assume so, Time for a pre-emptive neuclear strike mate.

Those little bastards live here in Indiana too but thankfully I have yet to see any.
