Pictured here crawling along my shorts. Apparently they'll attach themselves to flys and other flying insects to grab a ride off to other places.

I would guess around 3mm for that one. I've never seen them either but happened to look down and saw it crawling on me while gardening

That's cool! I particularly like how some species travel by fly-back ๐Ÿ˜†
