Default Red Velvet Mites (thank you Graeme)

Hey guys. Just wanted to show off some of the lovely mites I got recently from Graeme. (macro would get some smashing shots of these guys) I am hoping when my camera is up and running again to get some decent shots of everything but for now the phone will have to do. Sorry for the poor quality.

Ahhh no, they're lovely , but at this size they are as easy to control obviously and look after like a baby spid I suppose but they don't climb their enclousure walls so no escapes. Oh they are so cute and look, almost big enough to pet They're lovely, honestly. They have tiny little red hairs which completely cover their bodies giving the appearance or velvet but the camera didn't show it up.
