Have some oribatid mites for #MiteMonday. These tiny detritivorous soil-dwelling mites look kind of like shiny poppy seeds. The plates on their sides are called pteromorphs ("wing-shaped") and are a feature of certain groups.

CW: Spider close-up
I was working in the garden yesterday when I met this wee guy, a Zebra Jumping Spider, less than 1cm in length. Check out the eight eyes - the front two provide sharp vision while the ‘side eyes’ detect light and movement. He jumped on my OM System TG-7 while I was photographing him!

#MiteMonday: I chased this sidewalk mite around a bocce ball court in a park for ages because I thought it was one of the iridescent blue-green ones, only to find out it just had some green stuff on it. 😐
It looks kind of like lichen but I have no idea how lichen would even grow on a mite. It's probably some random paint or powder or algae-filled water that dried on it.

CW: Tiny spider. Just chilling like they do. Bruh would only harm the tiniest of flies.
Met a smol fren out on my walk yesterday. Little chum was probably 3mm long, a very dangerous predator.
There's room enough for all the little monsters out there, not just us.

CW: Spider question and photo / Also, I'm afraid of spiders
Hello. I have a spider question. I'm also afraid of spiders, so please don't post pics of them in the replies. 😭
Can anyone indentify this spider, spotted in a garden in Dublin (Ireland)? It has a white or cream abdomen, with a wavy red stripe along either side of it. Quite a small spider in size - abdomen maybe 6mm wide?
Anyway, thanks for any help anyone can give.
Yours sincerely,
Creeped out but curious in Dublin

#DailyMitePic × #DailySpiderPic: I was taking a photo of a whirligig mite (family Anystidae) eating a tiny midge when I saw a zebra jumping spider (_Salticus scenicus_) sneakily approaching. It pounced and seized the midge for itself! (1/2)
