Is it possible to tell something about this 1,5 mm big mite? Photos from 29 april 2012 Styrnäs kyrka N 62, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden. Thanks for your help in advance Regards Kurt Holmqvist kurt attached the following image:  [93.32Kb] Edited by kurt on 09-05-2012 20:13 |

It's a velvet mite, Trombidiidae - possibly an Allothrombium species, but I'm not sure about the genus.

Trombidiidae,I also always thought. But it it's a Erythraeidae. possible in this case it's Leptus trimaculatus. See also the interesting discussion here. Frank |
