Ian,
Looks like some variety of Spider Mite.

Careful he doesn't jump in your lens. ;^)

This afternoon, I've been playing with the bellows and 38mm f/3.5
macro lens which I bought from Thomas Clausen earlier in the year. My
subjects were a few bits of plant matter I found in the garden. One
of them turned out to have a small lodger:

There's also a 1:1 crop showing the little guy up close. Anyone know
what this is? It's not there, or anywhere else in the frame on any of
the other shots I took at different apertures, so it must still be
mobile. Some kind of springtail maybe? can't see any legs though,
and there's no obvious hole in the leaf.
I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this macro game, anyway.
