    Looked at your picture Kate.

    Still think they are crawlers, never seen red ones only black before, but they are shiney and clustering.

    Gotta say though Marley's clover mite does look similar:scratch:

          I will keep everyone posted as to what they do next. :scratch: Currently they continue to huddle together but they do have legs and can walk about if they feel like it. :WINK1:

          I think they're either red velvet babies/nymphs or clover mite. Best guess...
