Hi everyone I'm new to growing citrus, I have a lemon tree and have noticed that on the new leaf growth there are little webs and tiny caterpillars, I have removed all the affected leaves I can see but if anyone can tell me what it is and how to treat i would be very grateful thank you.

Welcome to the forum. I am unable to identify your pest as the photo is not clear enough for me to see it. Can you post a close up of the pest and the damage? That way I can be assured of giving you the right information.

Placing the insect on a black background might provide better contrast. A macro setting should be helpful, if possible.

It could be a leaf roller.

Where in the world do you live? Is that Queenborough, Kent, UK?
Could be the larva of the Light Brown Apple Moth which is a problem with my greenhouse citrus collection in England. Also present in parts of USA.

We had that problem before too. I removed all the caterpillars on the plant and killed them (harsh) but then the plant was able to live. In that way they wont reproduce
