oribatid? never seen this one!
I decided to explore around the yard this afternoon when I found this tiny fella! Unfortunately this fella was too tiny for the macrolens to focus well :(
O trail site 2 45 29’ 40’’ N 122 17’ 19’’ W
A tiny mite, less than 1mm long, walking on a piece of paper
This isn’t exclusively a terrestrial species. Collected and observed in a vernal pool.
