biting mite

biting mite
reading, Pennsylvania, USA
June 8, 2017
viewed under 60x magnification, however the mites can be seen by the naked eye.
these mites bite seemingly random parts of the body, and i may have a reaction, but in any case i know the instant they bite and remove them. bite causes red rash like area with white meculae at the point of biting.
outside of the microscope the appear clear/dark brown, but they are too small to clearly tell.

Maybe bird mite?
Perhaps a bird mite? Remove old bird nests from around your house. When birds vacate, the mites find other hosts to bite. Might see what others think.

 
good assessment
