Tick Larva
Tick larva, probably Ixodes ricinus, approximately 1mm long. Woodwalton Fen NNR, Ramsey Heights, Cambridgeshire. July 8, 2021.
There are rather a lot of these tiny larvae at WWF at present, so it pays to check your clothing thoroughly before leaving the site, if you don't want to take them home with you.
And don't wear dark trousers, or you probably won't see them!
