Red Velvet Mite with Prey

This Velvet Mite is the size of a pinhead. The bug that he is eating

is about 1/2 a mm.

Very good Macro shot here Jody how did you do this? I can barely see these little mites with my naked eye.. They just look like moving red dots to me :)) ..

How does one "find" a mite, let alone take a picture of it!! And doubley so take a picture of it in the middle of dinner??????? Wow!!

Great capture!

Absolutely stunning capture. Even the helpless and empty look in the eyes of the prey, work so well. I am overwhelmed. 7/7 and lots of extra points above the normal rating.
