I was visiting a farm with my daughter today where there were quite a lot of animals (chickens, rabbits, geese, etc.) as well as a lot of greenery and I noticed that she was scratching her head over there. Once home I checked her hair as I was fearing head lice and I found tiny little bugs in her hair but also on her clothing and her skin. I know that they are not head lice as they are a bit more round and they move more quickly (they were quite mobile on my finger and almost got away). Also, they do not make a popping sound when squished but rather smear when popped without any sound. I took some pictures but they are not very clear as they were too small. Can you help me ID these bugs?!

p.s. I should note that we are currently traveling in Bosnia and sleep near an open window with our full suitcases nearby (lack of space), so I would not rule out that these bugs came from somewhere other than the farm.

Thanks so much in advance for your help!
