            Erythraeidae 

Erythraeidae is a family of mites belonging to the Trombidiformes. 
The larval forms of these mites are parasitic on various other arthropods, for example Harvestmen. They bite a hole into the cuticula, the hardened or membranous protective covering, of the host and use a stylostome, which acts like a drinking straw, to drink body fluids. When adults, they become free-living predators.  
Usually reddish coloured and densely hairy these oval mites are rather large, (these measured about 8mm, including the legs). The legs, especially the first and fourth pairs, are long and adapted for running. They have either one, or two pairs of eyes and can be distinguished from related families microscopically by the presence of a single claw on the tibia of the palp.
