Red velvet mites, belonging to the family Trombidiidae, are small arachnids known for their striking red coloration and velvety appearance. They are often found in moist environments, such as leaf litter and soil, where they play a role in the decomposition of organic matter. Adult mites are typically active during warm months and are harmless to humans, although their bright color serves as a warning to potential predators about their unpalatable nature. These mites are also interesting for their unique life cycle, which includes a predatory larval stage that feeds on other small invertebrates.
