Gday bugman,
Thanks to your site I was able to identify my little velvet mite which I discovered while photographing mushrooms, even though he was only about 2mm in size I only noticed a little red dot moving around. I found him in the sunshine coast hinterland in QLD Australia. I have attached a few pics for you if you need them. I have also attached pics of an orb spider (I think) and one other spider which I am not sure what he is, maybe you might know. Anyway keep up the great work. Cheers Regards

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the compliments and for your wonderful photos. We really like the view from the back of the Velvet Mite with the forelegs extended.
