I would like to subscribe to additional funny pigeon anecdotes

I agree with your premise, and here is some additional unsolicited information:

Vanilla ‘beans’ technically are fruit from hand-pollinated orchids! So scraping a seed pod or using extract makes no difference. It’s never been a bean.

Coffee ‘beans’ are seeds from the fruit of coffee trees and shrubs.

I used to work at an animal shelter and as a result have dished up the vast majority of commercially available wet cat foods at some point (we’d get lots of stuff donated to us). At least what’s available where I live. Not gonna lie there have been a few fish ones where they’ve honestly smelled just like a decent fish chowder and I’ve thought ‘you know, in an apocalypse…’. Some are just chunks of mackerel or sardines in sauce and I eat sardines in sauce all the time lol. You’d have to eat a lot of them to get enough calories though. Kitten food is probably the most calorically dense but you won’t get a lot of flavor or texture options, mainly mystery meat pâté.

I don’t speak Spanish (helpful eh?) but I remember when I was in Mexico I went to a cool place called Xel-Há, which was pronounced shell-ha. So there’s one.

Agree with spider mites, pretty sure I can see webbing between the leaf tips.

Neem will work, so will insecticidal / horticultural soap and it smells less bad. Heck they’re soft-bodied, you could probably spray 50% isopropyl and kill them too. I like the soap because it’s really cheap and safe for pretty much anything without farina / epicuticular wax (I feel like some begonia Rex aren’t a fan either).

This is a good sized infestation so I would recommend starting by rinsing the leaves really well in the shower or with a hose. After debulking the colony, then use insecticide.

Check your other plants too OP! Mites are not particularly particular.
