That's very interesting. My husband LOVES birds, & outside the kitchen window, he has all sorts of bird feeders, so he can look out, & see all the birds of Austin come, & eat. A yellow canary arrived, & I'm sure he thought it good luck, or something. Anyway, he came home with all these canary toys to hang.
Second day, the canary was history, & never returned, but to get to the point, this freaks me out. A squirrel eats the bird food also, & my dog Bentley races out the house to catch the squirrel. He runs out under the bird feeders, & birds, so daily he's exposed to anything on the ground, fallen from the birds.
The pictures in the article look similar to what I proclaimed as Collumbola, -sp?-that I will soon send off for identification. Aside from that, am I being silly, or just paranoid? Is this just an everyday thing, hit or miss, or should I have concern that we have a multiple bird species play area approx. 12 X12 in our back yard?
The birds, & bees will make us wheeze, oh ges freaky

Yeah, Valerie, I go in cycles...................I don't even want to see it under a scope. Then weeks go by and I ignore it. Then I get into it.
Sometimes, it really is best NOT seeing it. Especially when they are bugs, like prevenge's photo's
It makes me ill to think bugs are on me and to see them. Though I appreciate the photo's.
Sometimes it's better not knowing for a while and take a break.
I go back and forth with it.

I just had my 3 year old house treated for Mites. I got this stuff about 4 months after moving in. I found them on the wall of one room as I was preparing the wall to be painted.
