hi! do you know anything about those little red clover mites? i'm starting to see a lot more now that the weather is getting warmer and i've always wanted to learn more but i never knew where to start. if the question is to broad feel free to not answer this it's fine!
Clover mites (Bryobia praetiosa) are often confused with concrete or sidewalk mites (Balaustium spp.), so it depends on which you're asking about! Here's a good overview of clover mites. I couldn't really find much on concrete mites that wasn't about pest management or like super long scientific papers. If anyone can find a more concise overview of Balaustium species, feel free to link!
