I clicked on this thread the other day and thought "yup, look like ticks".
Then yesterday I found one of these buggers on my plants. I smooshed it, and its body felt softer than a tick. I know ticks like to climb plants to make it easier to latch onto a host. Not sure if its a tick or something different?
These are def not hypoaspis mites. Those things are tiny and look different--like mites.
Anyone have any idea what these bugs are?
