Thanks Karen, looks right! Couldn't decide which species could be :).

I keep checking back on this spotting, because I want to know what it is! I think Sachin's on the right track. I looked up red spider mites online, but couldn't decide ...

The sun is shining up here! You are at the wrong place, that is all :P oh, and I hope there are more than a houndred species! I dont want it to be too easy for you... It is your profession after all, hehe

Thanks, will work on it but promise there are no hundreds species in that genus??? I'm happy I got even 1 photo. You should know better under what weather conditions we need to make those photos, no sun...only wind and clouds :)

A batch of bugs again :) lovely! For this one, it looks like it is a Trombidiidae. Trombidium holosericeum is similar to your spotting, but it is hard to see without more photos... http://www.flickr.com/photos/kjetilfjellheim/4812820857/
