No. Mites cannot fly in the conventional sense but they are so small the slightest puff of wind can get them airborne. They can also balloon by extending a silk thread into the breeze and taking off. They cannot control where they go but can travel large distances this way.

they can disperse in wind current, often using webbing as a way of catching the wind. I don't know of any with wings though if that's what you mean.
