I got some close up pics of a few mites, was hoping they might be good enough to help id them

They showed up in my worm bin after I added some really dark, rich, loaded with arthropods soil from my neighbors farm. They are very plentiful in there now, looking like they mostly are hanging out in the top inch or so. They look a lot like hypoaspis miles but I can't tell for sure.

Not sure if thats a spider mite,looks like it's lacking a cple legs,could be a predator mite,jmo, could be wrong.

Could be an adult Chigger nasty little people mite looks a bit red

Kind of looks like a European Red Spider Mite. But I can't see the small hairs that are on their backs. Maybe they are stuck to the body.

I fucking hate those things. I moved from the north to the south and for some reason me and no one else ends up with 15 chiggers bites every time I go into the woods. They itch for weeks. And if you do itch them they immediately turn into open wounds, that still itch.

Looks like a predatory mite to me. Do you see them moving around searching for things or do you see them all gathered in one place on pieces of your compost?

And if you don't stop scratching they itch for along time .I get itchy just thinking about them.Spay you clothes and boots down with Permethrin and you'll never get another bite

That sounds like predatory mites searching for prey. I wouldn’t stress about them.
