I've been photographing this minute (1/2") Hexatomini for almost 20 years at Cedar Bog. Previous discussions have led to a possible ID as Hexatoma Albitarsis. Several sightings today.

This is an old image from 2004 that I'm posting because of interest in my recent shots of this Hexatomini. I've photographed several over the last 20 years, always in the same area at Cedar Bog. Quite small, as you can see from the size perspective of the mites.

Update:
I found several of these at Cedar Bog again this year. The last one might be Hexatoma brevicornis, so if you have expertise, please D.

I've added two other observations; one from back in 2004.
