Trombidium holosericeum
Adults tend to wander and hunt for food while the larvae will attach themselves to insects and other arachnids, living off their body fluids. The bright red color is a warning to predators that they are toxic. They pose no threat to humans.
About 3 to 4 mm. One of the largest I've ever seen.
