Thank you for your response. Seems like it's affecting most my plants. This is a picture of my gherkin leaf.
Will take a chose photo under the leaf also.
Thank you again,

Hi all,
Thank you all for your help! Looks like you're right. After close inspection I was able to see these black eggs?
Possible spider mite?
I've taken a close up photo.

Welcome to PlantVillage! Can you please update your question to include your location? It will help in the identification of potential pests - thanks! about 10 years ago.
Also Virginia, check carefully under the leaves and around the plant. Do you see tiny eggs, caterpillars,or flying (walking, hopping) insects on the undersides of any leaves? Maybe you could post a closeup of the underside of a damaged leaf. about 10 years ago.
The black spots look like frass (insect excrement) to me - possibly from some type of caterpillar. It's probably from whatever is eating those holes in the leaves. Have you seen any small caterpillars crawling on the plants? about 10 years ago.
