I found these tiny white web-like spots on many leaves of my plant. What are these specks? And what should I do with them?
- Ignore them?
- Wash/Wipe them away with water?
- Pluck the infected leaves?
The plant is Holy Basil.

Forgetting the name of the bug, these bugs as I call simply milk bugs make these webs under the leaves to have there young. These bugs do eat the leaf so I would wipe them away and see if they return. No need to pluck away the leaf.
