What’s up with Oregano Bolting?

my oregano doesn’t look too good with black spots and stuff. Is the second photo the β€œbolting” flowers that i am supposed to snip off? #ItalianOregano #Oregano
I did a quick google search and it looks like spider mites or thrips. They suck on plant cells and bleach the pierced areas. To get rid of them you need to prune the leaves that have been effected the most and spray the top and undersides of the leaves. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil after. If it is near other herbs or plants, check those for the spots as well because the mites spread very easily. I hope this helped you! 😊 πŸͺ΄
