Default [IBC] Tiny Red Bugs ??

They are good bugs they are a type of spider mite
predator. They eat bad spider mites. They are no
danger to your plants. I just started to notice mine
since i put in ceder bonsai benches, they love my red
ceder benches. I see them running about and smile
because they keep my trees safe . I actually
introduce a few hundred new ones each spring they
really do help in reduction of bad mites.

PP Phytoseiulus persimilus.
