It was on a paper on the classroom, we thought it was a spider.
Now I belive it is a ugly red mite! Yuk
European red mite, Panonychus ulmi, a major tree fruit pest attacking apples, stone fruits, and pears, is considered by many growers throughout Pennsylvania to be one of the most important apple pests. The mite was introduced into North America from Europe in the early 1900s and is now established in most fruit-growing areas.

Happy Mother's Day!
What a tiny little thing! Nice capture of such a small mite!
Ick!
Love your blog :-)
Tiny little thing! I thought it was a spider at first too.
Tiny - but it picked a good colour to be!
That is a cool macro. I've always wanted to take pics of those but never had my macro handy.
Come check out my bees :)
Oh yeah, I take a couple of those critters out of the gene pool every year - they're itchy!
It might be a mite, but then again, it might not be a mite, however, I do believe it is a mite, a mighty mite, not a spider.
If that is what I think it is we used to have tons of those crawling all over our stone wall when I was growing up. If you squish them you get red stuff on you. TFS
Now that's a TINY critter for sure!
Hugs and blessings,
They breed on Christmas trees, spruce.
