I found a load of red dot buts all over my peas. We looked at them under a toy microscope and defintely some kind of bug my husband saw wings he thinks. What are they? Will they spread. I have pulled up all the pea plants that I can see with them on since its getting too hot for the peas any way.

Should I spray any where else? I did neem oil on the peas last night before I pulled them up this morning

Little red bugs are most likely spider mites. They tend to go after plants when they are stressed and also create little webs. Hosing them down usually takes care of them.
