Unidentified

https://www.google.com/search?q=velvet+mite&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari It looks like a Velvet mite. I have a lot of them in my yard right now. They cling to small weeds and form clusters to float on water. They’re little orange specks. My magnified photos show they have white legs. There is a taxonomic difference between these and the ones that parasitize spiders. Yours is a different species than mine, it looks like it has dorsal ridges. The best answer would have been, it depends on how big it was. Mites are like paprika.
