I found this weird red mite crawling along the edge of my turtle pond in early March. I posted the photos on Flickr, where
Ray Fisher identified it as a spider mite. He said "This is a spider mite (Tetranychidae) in the genus
Petrobia. Given the description of where you found it (on the ground near water), it is likely
Petrobia harti which is quite common on clover... but I can't be confident about that."
