Rich,
I agree with the ID as the mite being a species of Balaustium.  I get some 
calls about these mites and also Bryobia.  The default ID by many people and 
PCOs/PMPs is incorrectly clover mites.  They are not aware of other kinds of 
‘red’ mites. There are records of certain Balaustium species biting people, 
too, however the species are not classical parasitic mites (such as those 
blood-feeders known from rodents and birds).  These feeding episodes might not 
be common occurrences.

I’ve been asked by several members of this list for suggestions on digital 
imagers. Rather than replying to each separately, I’ll post here.

I’ve evaluated many such units over the years, and try to keep current on new 
and useful devices. I use several daily in my own work, but I also am an 
authorized reseller for one line of scopes that I frequently recommend to 
clients. ProScope (also known as Bodelin) manufactures diverse lines of digital 
handheld (or mounted) microscopes. They have devices that connect via USB to 
any modern MacOS or Win computer, standalone units that connect wirelessly via 
its own wifi to your phone or tablet, and yet other accessories that clip onto 
your phone or tablet. More recently, they added a digital imager that captures 
excellent images from the ocular tube of a microscope. I use each, and select 
the device depending upon my needs. Find the entire line at 
https://proscopedigital.com.
 You can buy from them or from any other authorized reseller (myself included). 
 Should anyone be interested in my own recommendations and for a quote, contact 
me directly. For examples of images captured using different lenses of a louse 
egg between paper and translucent tape, visit 
https://identify.us.com/idmybug/head-lice/head-lice-images/proscope-lens-compare/proscope-lens-comparison.html.

Finally, back to the mite. That is neither a clover mite nor a biting mite. I 
stand by my initial suggestion, but would be happy to examine the specimen 
directly should it come my way.

Hello Joanna,

It is difficult to identify a pest from the damage.  If possible, get a 
close-up image of the critter.  It will also help if you can give us an idea of 
the scale?  Measure it if possible.  Sorry that I cannot be of more help at 
this point.

Hello Johanna,
Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

Hi Forrest
Have you any reason to doubt the original identification suggestions?
If you want a definitive species name on it, I think you will have to send
the specimen to someone who is familiar with the North American Siricidae.

Michael,

The image is a bit less than ideal, but it may help narrow the field. That is a 
mite, and it seems quite similar to a mite of the genus Balaustium. 

There are many suitable and affordable digital scopes. I can offer insights and 
can outfit you with unit that works for you. Let's connect directly to discuss. 

Best,
Rich

Hi Johanna
As others have suggested, a specimen or magnified photo would be best to get a 
definitive name, but looking at your pictures, I am quite sure that the insect 
is a thrips (Thysanoptera). These insects regularly squeeze themselves into 
picture frames (they have evolved to insert themselves into very narrow spaces 
in the plants on which they feed). They will do no damage themselves, but 
occasionally a dead thrips can act as a focal point for mould, which may damage 
works on paper, so they are best removed from the frames.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello Johanna,
Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.
Thanks

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

Best regards,
Rich
