Clover Mite

Appearance

Adults are usually red, but they can also be green.

Habitat

A common mite, clover mites can be found in every continent. They thrive in every state of the United States. You can often see these red bugs on concrete walls and sidewalks. They prefer a humid climate where the temperature stays between 45 to 80 degrees. Because of this, they are more prevalent in the spring.

Activity

They become active in the spring, lay eggs in the summer, and then try to find their way indoors in the fall. Because the mites are sensitive to temperature, they will die if the temperature is above 102 degrees Fahrenheit. And they will go dormant if the temperature is above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. That is why they often seek safety inside a home during hot summer months. If the temperature gets below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the adults and eggs will go dormant until the weather gets warmer. During the fall, clover mites gravitate toward warm surfaces. You will often see masses of red bugs on warm concrete walls.
