Possible mites

Trying to figure out if my plants have spider mites. They’re generally just not thriving my flytrap doesn’t have any trigger hairs & one of the newer baby traps is turning black. My nepenthes hybrid is turning black & my drosera just doesn’t look good. I keep finding small webs on the plants not on the undersides of leaves but like through the plants. I’m already trying more light as a possibility of them not really thriving but something is telling me it’s not that. I don’t see any mites I looked at it magnified through my phones camera but who knows. Help if possible thanks

I see no sign of mite damage, and mostly signs of too-wet soil or new arrival. How long have you had them and have they been given adequate time to acclimate? Extra light is nearly always going to be helpful after acclimation, but not before.
