Anyone know what this little critter is? It has a small red/brown body, and six legs and two antennae, or just 8 legs. There are two body spaces--the head and the abdomen. If there is a thorax it is very small. Or the head is very small and only the thorax and abdomen are visible. This critter was found just below tree line in the Rocky Mountains. My initial guess was a tick nymph, but I don't think it's small enough.
