Looking down on an orange-brown oval creature. It has a translucent shell through which are visible some paler orange-brown pits.

Looking on the underside of the same orange-brown creature. There are four pairs of legs arranged such that the head end of the creature is to the lower right of picture.

Found this morning in Brede High Woods (in horrible weather). Some kind of Mite. Am thinking it is probably one of the Uropodidae, a mesostigmatic mite.
Can anyone help with id?

🌿Predatory #mite Neoseiulus barkeri uses NbNPC2-2 & NbNPC2-3 to bind herbivore-induced plant volatiles, luring it to pest-infested plants to find prey. Silencing these genes wipes out the attraction. #Biocontrol #behavior

Say hello to Protochthonius gilboa, a devonian mite from Gilboa (USA) and an early representative of the oribatids, a major group of mites well represented today !

Feeling cute, *mite* delete later. Did you see what I did there? These red spider mites are so sodding small, and never stopped moving. I just waited until one came into focus and pressed the button 😅 But, up close, they really are quite sweet. #photography #macrophotography #arachnid #macro #mite

As of last week it started to rain, finally, so I’m back!
I went out today and found this Tetranychus species of spider mite, complete with webbing, which you can just make out in the background. A stunningly beautiful colour. I can still take photos, which is a relief.

Eriophyes laevis & E. inangulis : England : VC20 Hertfordshire : TQ0996 : June 2025 : On Alnus leaf

#Galls on alder leaf. Caused by saliva of two #mite species, which live in them while sucking tree's juices. Prominent, scattered pink galls caused by Eriophyes laevis; green galls in leaf-vein axils by E inangulis. Effective life strategy but slightly…galling! Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

Dorsal view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.

Lateral view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.

An oblique view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.

Inspired by @rosariolebronentomology.com's post, I also recently saw a nifty thick-thighed eupodid #mite. This one was on a leaf in a sample we received in the lab. Apparently these can jump with the enlarged hind legs.

Seguramente no son parásitos sino que utilizan al escarabajo como medio de transporte. Este fenómeno se llama foresis.
