good mites bad mites?!?

hi,

i really really don't know my mites...
my understanding from reading around here is that there are bad mites (parasitic) and good mites (predatory/scavenger)...

could someone please tell me which category this mite falls into? it was found on a giant millipede, and it is roughly 1 mm or 0.04 inches in length...

thanks!

probably neutral or good.

all the bad mites i have ever seen are small and white and not really fast movers

that is one of the fellows that runs all over the place, right?

yep, they run around like crazy as soon as i shine the flashlight on my pedes!
i can manage to pick one off with tweezers about 25% of the time, the rest of the time they just run and hide under the pede...
the question is, should i be bothering??
