Clover Mite

Lawns, grassy areas, and around building foundations; often migrate indoors through windows and doors in large numbers during spring or fall.

Herbivore; sucks juices from plants, primarily clover, grasses, and some ornamental flowers.

Active in cool weather; they have disproportionately long front legs often mistaken for antennae. They do not reproduce indoors but enter buildings for shelter.

They do not bite humans or pets and do not cause structural damage. However, they are considered a nuisance pest because they leave a permanent red stain if crushed on surfaces like furniture or carpets.
