: Balaustium sidewalk mites feast on pollen from a fallen flower.

: the first anystid larvae have been spotted swarming over the chain-link fence along Beaty Boulevard!

I have been checking the spruce tree by the Jameson bridge for what I saw before, anystid larvae raiding clover mite rookeries for eggs; no luck yet, but perhaps soon.

Erythraeid larvae have also been out for a while, and today I saw a few clumps of what are probably Balaustium feeding on tree pollen.

Being arachnids, mites have eight legs as adults, but larvae have six.

In a little crevice in lichen-speckled rock, several little red mites are swarming over the yellow pollen-bearing end of a tiny anther.
