My wife would like to know what ails her snap beans. The tops of the leaves look like some graffiti artist cleaned out the nozzle of his white spray can in the vicinity.

I tried to do a Web search on this, but wasn't able even to begin zeroing in on anything relevant.

Looks like spider mite damage to me, too.

Been hot and dry where you are?
