Poultry lice, mite or tick?! Or monster

[Ragna]

I treated My girl for poultry lice but this one was significantly smaller... Zooming in to it, it kinda looks like the poultry lice sorta... Not really but it was dead at the time of picture

Unknown monster

Never seen anything like the bug in the first pic. I’ll tag someone who may know. @casportpony come and take a look at this please.

Interesting, I have no idea what that is.

Interesting, I have no idea what that is.

Whatever it was... Died from the organic spray in twice the time but still died... So... It was just weird because it was very small like a tick

@aart and @lazy gardener might know what it is.

It kind of looks like some kind of Springtail. If so, at least it's harmless!

@aart and @lazy gardener might know what it is.

Hard to say as it's out of focus, has the shape of a louse in the bottom pic.
Is top pic probably different critter.
There are sooo many insects, especially in FL, they can be very hard to ID.

Looks like some sort of beetle. Agreed, most beetles are harmless aside from the fact that they can infest feed supplies, can be a co-host for a number of parasites, and some of them can pack a powerful bite when disturbed.

Looks like some sort of beetle.

Top pic does....bottom ones look soft bodied like a louse.
'Squishability'(yes, I just made word that up) can be a good clue when IDing.

 

[lazy gardener]

Yes, bottom is louse. Agreed there. Squish vs. crunch.
