Clover Mite

Typically found in well-fertilized lawns and on the exterior walls of buildings; they often move indoors through cracks and windows during spring or autumn.

Herbivorous; they feed on the sap of over 200 different plant species, including grasses, clovers, and ornamental flowers.

Active during the day in cooler weather; they are parthenogenetic (females reproduce without males) and are known for leaving a red stain when crushed due to their body pigments.

They do not bite humans or pets and do not transmit diseases. They are considered a nuisance pest because they can leave red stains on furniture, curtains, and carpets.
