I would listen to Renfro.
Speaking of mites. I didn't know I had any until a couple days ago. Apparently my predator bugs have been keeping me from noticing them and killing them on their own. I was inspecting a couple leaves last night, grabbed my microscope for the hell of it and spotted a mite and was pissed. Literally the next second he was freaking out and I noticed he was being eaten be some other bug. I hit record on the microscope, but it was too late. He was eaten in a couple seconds. It was crazy shit. Not happy I have mites, but am relieved I have some friends in there. Here's a pic of the little guy. I found out it's a big eyed bug, and didn't even know I had them.
