I found round light brown mites with a little shade of red, about the size of a blunt pencil (sorry for the size description). They look to have 4 legs and are possibly hairless, the young are clearish yellow. I found some surrounding a fruit fly larvae but they did not seem to have their heads in it. What are they? Are they parasitic? Thank you.
