What a superb shot. Yes, that is a mite on its back. So many insects and arachnids are afflicted by mites. V

I agree with victorwan
Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite them, and little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

nice image, the red spot on the back is a mite that has sucked onto the spider's body , from the group of the Acarina BV
