ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Promite

Promite is a type of mite that is really small, like a tiny little bug. It likes to hang out on plants, especially ones that people like to eat, like fruits and veggies.

Sometimes, promites can cause problems by making the plant not grow as well or by making it look kind of icky. But other times, promites can be helpful by eating other tiny bugs that would be bad for the plant.

People who grow plants, like farmers or gardeners, need to make sure they take good care of their plants and keep promites from causing problems. They might use special sprays or traps to catch the promites so they can't hurt the plants.

But don't worry, promites are really small and not something you need to be scared of. Just remember to wash your fruits and veggies before you eat them so you don't accidentally eat any promites that might be hanging out on them!
