Good morning everyone,
Those "mites"turned out to be tick larvae. For better or worse, I don't know if they are interested in Edward at all. But they sure are interested in me! The ticks here in Finland are generalistic and there are some rare sightings of them being attached to our natural reptiles.
Anyway, here is a photo of Edward hiding in the old lilac bush. The bush is at least 60 years old, probably planted when the house was build. Sometimes my dad talks about wanting to cut it down, but everyone else loves it.
Edwards servant ☺️
