hile pulling some spotted spurge (Euphorbia maculata) from the yard, I noticed red velvet mites (Balaustium species) scurrying around the plants. Upon closer examination, the mites were visiting tiny flowers on the weeds.
These mites were less than 1-mm long, but they provided some interesting shots. Now they need to stop pollinating all the spurge!
Oh, my gosh! Red bodies & purple eyes! Incredible! It’s beyond words! Amazing! That camera is really good!!!! 🙂
