New video: 1 minute of a clover mite rookery on a tree trunk! Adults feeling their way around by tapping their long legs; clusters of shiny dark-red eggs; the white husks of cast-off old molts.
These mites are so tiny (<1mm) that despite their vast numbers they easily pass unnoticed.

This fallen tree in High Park's oak savannah was covered with absolutely tiny clover mite (_Bryobia_) nymphs. Note the six legs (they'll have eight as adults).
