I was looking at the springtails in my viv then I noticed what seemed to be tiny spiders crawling around and when i got a closer looked the first thing that came to mind was mites.
these guys are amber colored and are dark at the head and loose there color as you look down them.
here is some macro pics...the best I could get out of my dad's camera..
macro pics of the mites I zoomed in on lol, you can also see the springs in question.
here is a really good one I messed with paint and zoomed in then screen shot it lol.
if they are mites are the predator mites and do I need to get rid of them.
idk how I got them or where they cam from but they have just showed up
I'm pretty sure these are springtails(99.99%).....just wanted to post some pics of them and see what if thought others thought they were too.
I have posted another thread about these lil guys but until now I have never had such good pics.
I know they are local and they hitch hiked on some plants from Lowes.
here are some pics of me messing around with paint and zooming in on the macro pics....
they look white but really they are like a dull silver...metallic gray?lol
gray or silver springtails maybe?
thanks for your help
