Red spider mites. They're plant pests.

Red spider mite is the common name for Tetranychus urticae. That's quite the specific ID for such a terrible picture. I don't think it's correct, Trombidiidae seems more likely (and those are predators).

You know what, I think you are right. I was hasty and the shape fits your suggestion better.
