Linking
They shouldn't be linked as "same individual". They are definitely different ones. You may want to use [thumb:#] instead to show that they were all found nearby.

Erythraeoidea
All of these images are probably larval erythraeids.... but I can't be sure, because smaridids are recorded from "Homoptera" too and you can't tell the larvae apart without slide-mounting them. There are other velvet mites that may be found on Hemiptera... but I bet these are erythraeids.

Sorry for the babbling there...
Sorry for the inner monologue... these images should be moved to Erythraeoidea. I'm almost certain they're erythraeids... but will not suggest putting them there yet.
