    invert ID help please

    I found this invert outside today. Took a few pics and tried to look for it on the 'net, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas any one? It's about the size of a deer tick or so, about 3/16 to 1/4 of an inch.

    Looks like a member of the family Trombidiidae (Velvet Mite). Nice find!

    Thanks for the ID. I've been in the woods all my life and I can't remember ever coming across one of those.
