Frassed
Moved from Mites and Ticks.

ID has been given to the degree possible, and the image isn't needed for the Guide. It will be visible here for 30 days until removed by the system.

larval Sarcoptiformes
Based on the 6 legs in evidence, this is a larval mite, and the gestalt (including what appears to be a gut bolus) indicates a member of the large group Sarcoptiformes. I can't tell whether it belongs to the Astigmata or to non-astigmatan Oribatida, but based on sclerotization it is probably the latter. These are fungivorous or detritivorous mites, not herbivores.
