 Yes, one of the "higher families" of Oribatida. The nymphs (and sometimes the adults) will carry the younger larval and nymphal skins on their backs - these skins or "scalps" have their original bristles, so the mite looks very bristly indeed.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
