Wow that guy is loaded!
These are definitely Astigmatid Deutonymphs. I think they are probably Acarids- they don't have the long forelegs like Histiostomatids, but it's difficult to say much beyond that since many Asgitmatids have deutonymphs that look like this. Great pic! What kind of beetle is this?
