User's notes
This Red Mite was under the bowl of our bird bath that I had lifted off to clean. The mite started to move reasonably quickly after the bowl was lifted. It seemed at a loss as to where to go as it was climbing around the rim of the bird bath’s pedestal then back into the hollow. It was as if the mite was hesitant to climb down or maybe was not sure where to find cover. I could not get a good photograph of this red creature because it was moving around a lot.
