Hi Joann - I'm having some bug problems too so I thought I'd be a good
Google Group Neighbor and tell you what I found:

On the interne, looks like a common red bug is a Chigger but they are
very small. Sometimes you can also have red Chinch Bugs too. Another
bug to look at is a Clover Mite too. I would go to google and search
these three bugs under the IMAGES section and compare them to your
bug.

Also, you can GOOGLE ("red bug" yard) in Google too to see.

Good Luck!
