MitesWhats this bug?
I live in Brookville Ohio, my son and I was in our woods and came across a bright red little bug. I was able to get it to crawl upon a leaf and managed to get it back home so I could get my camera. I grabbed my Canon Rebel XT with a 60mm Macro Lens and took some pictures as he crawled across my patio. He looks like a spider, and is much larger than a spider mite. Can you help me identify it.

Hi Nathan,
This is a Velvet Mite in the family Trombidiidae.
