What are tiny little red spiders that seem to be made of blood?
They're red spider mites, or red clover mites. Itty bitty little things and if you squish them it looks like a smeared drop of blood.
Reply:I think i know the ones you mean, they are tiny, even smaller than money spiders.



I live in Australia now and have for many years, but i come from England and i remember seeing them on a little rockery i had in my garden. They are totally harmless and they really are bright blood red, they're very cute.
Reply:If they're really tiny, like the size of a pin head they're probably spider mites, not spiders.

We used to get them all over our concrete porch in the summer. They aren't dangerous as far as I know. They make lovely little blood red smears when you squish them :p We used to call them "blood bugs" when I was little.
Reply:are they EXTREMELY small like as big as a freckle? if so i know what you mean. they use to always be around my deck and when id put my hand one theyd just turn to liquid blood it seemed like. i think theyre the babies of box elder bugs. i think thats what theyre called.

They're arachnids so you may well have thought it was a spider. I see them all over in the summers.
Reply:tiny red spiders ususally are on plants and eat the plants up down in texas they are in the flowered ones and eat them or kill them they have to be sprayed for red mites or spiders.
Reply:You mean the ones that like...liquefy if you so much as stare at them? The ones that are half the size of a grain of sand? I dunno, but I know what you're talking about.
Reply:I'm not an entomologist, but I think they might be spider mites.
