Mmmmm. No red spider mite in my greenhouse this year either (so far). I wonder if this is why?
I've not had any pesty type problems yet,which I just put down to beginner's luck...
mind you,I don't know what I'm looking for anyway!
Touch wood, apart from the loss of 1 raspberry bush,everything seems to be growing ok

Picked some nasturtium for salad on Sunday and the blackfly were heavily in evidence. 
But, not all over, just on some of the shoots, maybe one in five.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
