Trombiculidae mite larvae
This little insect was so small I could have placed a group of them on the flat head of a pin. Without a magnifying glass it would appear to be a speck of dirt. From what I have seen on Google I believe it to be the larvae or juvenile form of the Trombiculidae mite which is commonly called a Chigger.

Not a chigger. A tick.
