Snapped this guy earlier foraging on Mahonia. Assuming this is a v.mite ?

You are more knowledgeable than me but i would say that is bird poop on the leaves.

My Bad

Need to alter photo , as i thought I had , so mite ( i am sure ) can be seen of the abdomen ( not talking about detritus on leaf ).

I see a small red dot between the thorax and abdomen just near the top leg , it does look small to me for Varroa.???

Hopefully better enhanced pic.

Appears it is one of the little gits now that I can see it better !.

I thought it looked small but after looking at these images it does look like Varroa now.

I think it's probably part of the bee - the coxa, or possibly the pleuron. The photo is from an angle one doesn't often see - slightly from below.
