  1. 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.

  2. #MiteMonday: it's that time of year again! A sheet-web weaver's web in a willow tree crevice is carpeted with tiny _Bryobia_ clover mites.

  3. #MiteMonday × #LichenSubscribe: we got some flurries today, but at a few degrees above zero the clover mites (_Bryobia_) are still out and about. Here's one climbing over a tiny crumb of lichen.

  4. #Arachtober 26: the cool weather is back and so the clover mites (_Bryobia_) are out! The tiny juvenile spiders plentiful now seemed unbothered by the crowds of mites scrambling around them.

  5. #DailyMitePic × #LichenSubscribe: went out for a walk today but it was colder and rainier than I expected and I had to go home. But I did get this shot of clover mites and their eggs nestled into the folds of lichen on a spruce tree.

  6. #MiteMonday: clearing out old photos from my phone—this is from April, can't remember if I've posted it here. Behind a spiderweb covered with young clover mites (_Bryobia_), a red velvet mite (_Allothrombium_) ponderously makes its way up a tree.

  7. 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.)
