You'll hopefully forgive me the lack of detail in this - but it is as small as anything I have ever photographed I reckon...
Size is less than half the full stop on your keyboard!
Apparently...
This is Arachnida ( Acari - Mites ) - Oribatida - .. and at a glance, one of the -> Humerobatidae like Humerobates...
In English, it's a mite, and is very hard to see - they are a part of the soil diversity - Soil organisms are vitally important to sustaining life on land and are fascinating too!
Uncropped and cropped in each image:
The following night, I found a few on the garden fence - added pics and a short mobile phone video - these again are Arachnida ( Acari - Mites ) - Oribatida (about 3 or 4 more of them).
