It could be a type of thrips, I use the yellow sticky traps, they also catch other insects to trap them, and as a preventive measure, I always make a few bags with predatory mites that you can buy on Amazon, they're called Amblyseius cucumeris and are effective against thrips and soft-bodied mites. Works wonderfully. There are also predatory mites against spider mites like Amblyseius cucumeris or Phytoseiulus persimilis.
I can only recommend adding these to your plants from the start.
