Bdellidae? -
Bdella

Size: 1 mm
I swept this bright red mite from some ferns - looks like Bdellidae? Is it possible to tell if it's an adult?

This is a bdellid. I'm unsure if it's an adult of a nymph, but it's one of the two, because the larvae of mites have only three pairs of legs (btw, the long leg-like appendages on either side of the snout are actually the palps & not legs, so don't count them) ^_^
