If you get more, and are willing, could you pop as many as possible into a vial (old screw top pill bottle, film canister [?] or something similar) and add rubbing alcohol, and a piece of paper with: Your location Date your name "collected from hummingbird feeder" ...all written in pencil (some inks will dissolve into the rubbing alcohol). Then get in touch and we'll arrange transport. The mites are likely brought to the feeder by the birds themselves, so the ant traps won't work.
