[obol] Spider Mites

[Jason Randolph (Conservation For The Oregon Coast)]

Hello all...

Just wondering if finding Spider Mites on coastal rocks (specifically 
those daily influenced by tidal activity) is a common occurrence? While 
Heather and I were out and about over the weekend we found dozens of 
spider mites (or at least what I believe were red spider mites), many  
of them "swimming" in salt water and I was just inquiring about if they 
are pretty common (I don't recall seeing them in Curry county while 
growing up, but I may have just missed them).

Thanks for any insight you can provide...
