Water Mite - Hydryphantes Harvard, Worcester County, Massachusetts, USA April 28, 2006 Size: 2.5mm
There were a bunch of these little red mites swimming under the water surface at the edge of a swamp. It looks like it has fins on it's third and fourth set of legs, a nice adaptation for life in the water.
