Little Red Spiders

[Chris Daly]

Hi
Last week inside a Pioneer CD player and today on my multimeter, I have noticed a tiny red spider wandering around. I recall also seeing them a few years ago amongst electronic parts inferring they seem to like electronic bits. Has anybody else seen these little creatures ? 🙂

I managed to get a photo, the little red spider is on the end of the yellow multimeter.

Cheers / Chris

I agree - Gremlin - and good pic too!. However, there's another species that gets along by imitating them - The technique used for getting rid of those other little suckers could possibly be useful. Whadaya think?

We see them all the time in summer, usually on the outside of windows. I remember the school playground rumour that they were poisonous and would kill you.

A Spider mite are what I think it is?

Actually, they are my silicon eating microbots- so basically you are all f-ed.

Thanks for all the replies, Yes Red spider mite is what it is, aside from plants their natural place, they seem to like electronic parts. 🙂
