thankful to this velvet mite that decided to hunker down on a dinky little patch of moss because at least it makes for a more interesting looking photo than the vast majority of my other velvet mites, who are often found just wandering around in a daze under rocks i've flipped

I haven't been updating recently on cute bugs I've been researching, I am unfortunately a college student and started my bachelor's this year. Lots of writing (boo english student boo) so here's a little bug.

Is that a spider? Nope! This is a mite. A long-legged velvet mite

Velvet mites also can look like this. This is a Trombidium grandissimum found in India but these little guys like pitbull are worldwide.

(Thinking about it I totally saw these as a kid and freaked out at little red dots moving)
