Description plant or insect category? should be macro since this guy is barely the size of a pen head.....
the chigger is one of the most mis-represented insect out there...people always say the red bumps on their skin is chiggers.......they don't burrow.....sorry. nail polish on u'r skin doesn't help........

Gyaah! That macro's ridiculously good! Nice shot!

I...have a dream. That little red bugs can walk upon the fungi peacefully without being called chiggers!

I can't help but feel uncomfortable saying the word chigger....

i've learned with mosquitos...no bannanas...........no dark clothes........they love both! but the skin so soft helps with other itchy critters...

I've learned they also prefer certain blood types--and I happen to be that one.....

i must be too then. ~sigh~ last summer we were SWARMED! they'd get in my ears..eyes...everywhere! i'd go mushroom picture hunting with a bandana wrapped around my face/head/neck....then 'Deepwoods Off' myself to death....

That's exactly how I end up when I'm mushroom picture hunting!!

My hubby bought me a hat with netting on it-it looks totally stupid but does the trick for my face and neck anyway.

i'm almost 'arka'd' up...from neck up i look like i should be in snow instead of heat...lol
that hat sounds like a good idea.......i felt kinda 'tarded last summer when i had wiped mud on my face/arms/neck to keep them from getting me but i wasn't ABOUT to miss the mushrooms.........annnnnnd of course a very cute naturalist found me out in the middle of all that....Meet Mrs.Sasquach.....lol
