Tiny black bugs with red legs?

Shelbyville, KY(Zone 6a)

Found these guys on my daylilies today. The daylilies have been indoors all winter, but spent last week outside.

I suspect that these could be spider mites - see http://tinyurl.com/c769gc for an example. If so, they usually can be controlled by washing them off with a strong stream of water, or through application of an insecticidal soap.
