It looks very charming. Found it after mansoon rain. Seen plenty.

Summary[edit]

Description Info from the very nice Katleen Walker at Univ. of Arizona: "This is not actually a bug (insect), but a velvet mite (related to spiders). Most of the year they live hidden away, but just at the start of the monsoon season they emerge briefly in great numbers to reproduce. They are not harmful to humans, and I think they look charming." We think so too!
