  1. Interesting! Approximately how large was it?

    My first thought was a cockroach nymph, but it doesn't have any cerci at the end of its abdomen. Then, I was thinking cicada nymph, but it doesn't look like it has fossorial forelegs. If it was a cricket, I would expect the legs to look more cricket-ish. so, I'm not sure what it is, but I *think* that I lean towards it being a cicada nymph?!

    Oh, and those tiny critters look like mites.
