Yum, these red mites like lily pollen. In this photo, each grain of pollen looks like a small orange football. I would say they were grateful, but one of them bit me, leading to an itchy and swollen welt on my middle finger that persisted for about 2 hours. I will forgive--the mites are tired from running all over their stone wall for no apparent reason.
