Found these under a brick in the garden. Literally RAN back to the house, grabbed camera, then RAN back to garden (as they seemed to be scattering quickly) to get a few shots.
This is not a quiz; it is a question.
(obviously wanna click on this and zoom in but this gives you size)
Anyone know what these pups are? I realize the shots are not the best. They had bright red, very round abdomens, like shiny balloons.
Did I mention they were TINY? They made pine needles look like giant logs.
Here's a detail of a photo for the best shot of their shape.
Not lookin' like mites, which is what I normally think when I see tiny tiny scarlet bugs.
Any wild guesses?

I'm thinking maybe they are burrowing bug nymphs - check out this photo.

I can't wait to find out!
ReplyDelete@Emma, neither can I!
ReplyDelete@Ted, that seems like a good guess. That one where it's reaching up to the blade of grass DOES look like a baby picture. =) Thanks very much for the lead!
I'd put them down as bug nymphs too. (Not that this will advance the ID at all!)
