Little red mites of spring!
- A larval sidewalk mite (_Balaustium_) eating pollen
- A young whirligig mite (family Anystidae) eating clover mite eggs (the little reddish balls)
- Sumo mites (_Allothrombium_) wrestling
- and lastly, a clover mite (_Bryobia_), which isn't really that red when full grown but which all of the other mites are frequently misidentified as. They won't be out much longer, they go dormant in the hot months.#DailyMitePic #Mitestodon #arachnids #mites #Acari #Acariformes #Prostigmata #Erythraeidae #Anystidae #Trombidiidae #Tetranychidae #Bryobiinae

For this #MiteMonday: while watching the vast clover mite rookeries, I saw tiny juvenile whirligig mites racing around, feeding on the eggs right under the clover mites' noses!
#MiteBehaviour, especially between different taxa, is endlessly fascinating to me (as you may have guessed.)
