| Jan 22, 2020 at 6:09 | comment | added | tyersome | Makes sense — there are also likely to be better sites for getting an answer than here. If you are in North America (USA or Canada) BugGuide seems like a good resource. | |
| Jan 22, 2020 at 5:54 | comment | added | John C | I'm told elsewhere that my bugs are probably bird, or maybe rodent, mites. I want to wait a couple days for more answers, then I'll accept one here. | |
| Jan 21, 2020 at 17:20 | comment | added | tyersome | I've added a couple of images that appear to have been prepared more like to you did and which clarify that the leg positioning is very similar. Dust mites are visible (reported to be up to 0.3 mm) — if you are you sure yours reach 0.8 mm in size then they probably are a different species of mite. | |

Added more images.

| Jan 21, 2020 at 1:27 | comment | added | John C | The leg configuration does not match and most of my beasties are 2 to 3 times bigger than a dust mite. (Can you even see those with the naked eye?) | |
