Extremely tiny bugs suddenly appearing everywhere #871942
Asked June 06, 2024, 4:50 PM EDT
I am finding these microscopic sized bugs all over me. They seem to appear more when I get in my husbands or my vehicle. They crawl all over my hands, arms and even my face. They also appear often crawling on my phone screen. I am looking for answers as to what this is? They don’t fly or jump.
I’ve attached a link to a Reddit post where the poster has a video of the bug. This is exactly the same kind I am dealing with

I would recommend you take some clear tape and stick the insect onto the tape. Clear packing tape will work. An entomologist can look at it under a microscope to identify it.
Very carefully close over the tape being careful not to crush the insect and take it to an entomologist for identification. LSU should have a very good entomology department that could readily identify the insect, discuss the life cycle and provide you with a treatment recommendation.
