Red velvet mites on molehill - a photo on Flickriver

            Red velvet mites scurrying around on a molehill at Ham Wall - I've never seen so many in one place, I'm used to seeing ones and twos. I got in close to see some detail, but altogether there were 30+ in an area of maybe 20x20 cm. The slightly smaller ones are males, and the wider ones are females.
