Could be a house spider.

Spider mites, are small little fuckers. The ones i've got were red color. They will spin webs all over your plants.

I used predator mites to handle them. Neem oil has worked for me as well, but it stinks is messy and you don't want to use it late in flower.

The best way to not introduce mites. Is don't touch your plants.. I rarely touch mine with my hands unless i've washed them prior. Even breaking up a joint and rolling it, you can have mite eggs on your fingers from other buddy's grow. Then you go inspect the girls, grabbing leaves, stems, what ever.. That's an easy in for them.

Cleaning your space after every grow with some bleach is also a good preventative measure.
