Default [IBC] Tiny Red Bugs ??

I noticed a bunch (not many) tiny (real tiny) red bugs dashing about wildly.


We get this question every year without fail. They are clover mites. They are
harmless to plants. If they annoy you get a pesticide at the garden store which
specifically mentions clover mites (they are not insects & they are not spider
mites).
