Prostigmata: Caeculidae
Not oribatids, but something more interesting (to me, at any rate!). These are rake-legged mites (Caeculidae), which are sit-and-wait predators of other small arthropods.

Cheers,

Thanks
I would have to agree! I got really excited to see these little beauties, and I remembered seeing photos of them somewhere before but I didn't remember.

Thanks for the help!
