    Lovely series Jody.
    Not really up on mites but think the first series are just red spider mites which I think should be smaller and less furry than velvet mites.
    The 2nd bug is capsid/myrid bug nymph (ie a plant bug nymph)- quite cute when they are nymphs :)

    Like the last shot- a mossie ? - what did you do to it ?

    Hi Jody, those little Red Mites are quite intriguing.
    I have seen people post shots of them on several sites,
    but can't say I have actually ever seen them in real life.

    I can see hey they could eaily be mistaken for some kind of Tic.

    The little Nymph is a nice looking little fella, I like his colouring too.

    Not sure what you've done to the last shot, except that it looks a little
    like you may have added frost/blur to it ???

    Excellent Series Jody clap.gif thanks for sharing ..... Skippy :D

    Jody,

    I have shot spider mites, too. But mine have never turned out anywhere as nice as yours.

    Fantastic work as always.
