Hello to everybody!
Can anybody help me with this species, please?
Photo taken in March, the beetle is tiny, about 1-2 mm long, lives in soil. Location is Croatia, Europe. Any hint would help! Thanx a lot!
Red Mite (?)
This is a velvet mite (family Trombidiidae); they are predators on other tiny arthropods, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombidiidae

Thank You very much, Flapdoodle. Another source also confirmed that it is Trombidiidae.
