Munday on Monday: Oak leaf mites

What horrible bug is so spiteful

In acting so-awfully-biteful?

Perhaps it’s a spider,

A cranky outsider?

Or how ’bout a ’skeeter

That’s such a mistreater?

Or maybe a chigger?

(This welt may be bigger.)

They don’t explain such nasty bite

And so I’ll guess the oak mite might.
