Hey Sniffy,
Sorry to hear you lost your tree. Sad to say, this often happens when moving trees to new climates.
You don't give much specific information about where you are. Could you fill in your profile?
As far as I know, there are not really any deadly pests in the midwest that aren't everywhere else. This tree may have dried out during the move, or some other problem latent in the tree has surfaced.
Spider mites will suck the color out of the needles, but it doesn't kill the tree overnight, you can easily bring it back with judicious use of insecticide.
Welcome to bonsaiTALK, look forward to getting to know more folks in the midwest.
