#MiteMonday: your regular dose of sumo mite shenanigans.
I think the larger one may be a female? The aggressive mites don't try to fight it.

#MiteMonday: a red velvet mite, knocked over and playing dead, slowly uncurls. I just think this is too cute.
Marked sensitive because the video is kind of shaky at the start, in case anyone else is prone to vertigo with shaky videos like me.

Saturday night's all right for (sumo mite) fighting
edit: you can also see much smaller clover mites (_Bryobia_) moving around in the periphery. They are the bluish ones with threadlike pink-orange legs. That is their full size. For comparison, the sumo mites are like 4mm tops?

That Lady and the Tramp scene with the spaghetti, but it's these sumo mites (_Allothrombium_) feeding on a dead midge (family Chironomidae).
Also later they started fighting, but I'm not sure if they were fighting over the midge or just regular sumo mite fighting.

Enjoy 1:45 of red velvet mites (Trombidiidae) bumbling around in the leaf litter while a band jams in the background and _Lasius_(?) ants industriously excavate.
