We used to call them blood spiders, me and my sisters would squash and squidge them on the front wall in the summertime when we were young. They were blood spiders as they left a red trail in the stonework after squidging them.
Now my sisters have grown-up, got married and left home I have to squidge them on the wall by myself :-X

I believe they are just baby spiders, you guys mean the tiny ones right? I think they just came out of the nest. Had them on my own sill, hundreds of them.

Spider mites are members of the Acari (mite) family Tetranychidae, which includes about 1600 species. They generally live on the under sides of leaves of plants, where they may spin protective silk webs, and they can cause damage by puncturing the plant cells to feed.
Spider mites are less than 1 mm in size and vary in color. They lay small, spherical, initially transparent eggs and many species spin silk webbing to help protect the colony from predators; they get the 'spider' part of their common name from this webbing. Hot, dry conditions are often associated with population build-up of spider mites.
The best known member of the group is Tetranychus urticae (the glasshouse red spider mite, or two-spotted spider mite), which is common in tropical and warm temperate zones, and in glasshouses. Other species which can be important pests of commercial plants include Panonychus ulmi (fruit tree red spider mite) and Panonychus citri (citrus red mite).
Spider mites, like hymenopterans and some homopterous insects, are arrhenotochous: females are diploid and males are haploid. When mated, females avoid the fecundation of some eggs to produce males. Fertilized eggs produce diploid females. Unmated, unfertilized females still lay eggs, that originate exclusively haploid males.
But other than that i know nothing about them, what are they?

I like to call them money spiders because the more you wipe off the sills the more money you are earning and at the moment they seem to be every where.

Hotspur, Henry IV Part One
By heaven methinks it were an easy leap,
To pluck bright honor from the pale-fac’d moon,
Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
Where fathom-line could never touch the ground,
And pluck up drowned honour by the locks.....

Oh thats disgraceful. How could you? :'( :'(
We used to tie crow-scarers to rats, light them and set them free.
