Rain Bugs

Drying out after Wednesday's big rainstorm

Sure looked like it could rain when Dr. K, Willow and I were out in the desert this morning, but my weather app gave only a 1% chance of precipitation.  Most notable thing about today's trek:  the rain bugs (Red Velvet Mites) were out in abundance.

Still a lot of humidity in the atmosphere

This & next:  Red Velvet Mites (Trombidiidae)

Red Velvet Mites are also known as "rain bugs"
