Some sort of Velvet Spider Mite? - Trombidium
Andover Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA
May 19, 2014
Size: Less 1/8 inch
I found this in a patch of dirt in our yard, near a buddleia plant. I moved it to this twig to get some photos then returned it to the dirt where it disappeared under some vegetation.
