Notes:

This particular area seems to have a much higher rate of mites on harvestmen than other areas that I frequent. These two were having a bit of a battle and the red mites just hang on and feed!

Thanks Keith! Sorry for the late response. I've been out of town for the past week with no internet access! The trip was great, but not being plugged in was kind of miserable:)
