I saw what I thought was some kind of mildew on our spirea plant and when I went to touch it, the mildew starting moving. So here are a few very close-up shots of these guys that are only about 2mm in length. I shot these using a Sigma 105mm and a Raynox DCR-250.

I really appreciate the nice comments and I knew someone here would know what these are. I used Bing instead of Google. My bad on the ID. :) :) :) :)
