Tiniest little bug. I only saw 4 legs, but it probably has more. Adding more pics in the comments, can only upload one. Phone wouldn’t really focus on it.

    Yeah I don’t think they’re ticks. But they could be. I’ve found like 4 more on me just now. From googling, I suspect they MIGHT be bird mites…

        Thanks!

        I think the consensus is tick larva or nymph. Must have found a nest.

        Thanks for your input

      Deleted my previous comment as it was cursed somehow and inserted constant spaces…

      The middle one here looks a lot like a tick to me, likely in the nymph phase; also a quick search for ‘bird mite’ also included a good number of images of ticks as well (I had included a screenshot with some circled). You might be able to send them to your local agriculture department to be formally identified if you wanted to.
