Anyone know what this bug is? They're in my vermicompost bin.

Hopefully it is. I looked around online but never came across that mite. I was focusing on bad insects in a worm bin though. The one I came across I thought was a potential was the earthworm mite. They're not bad but they compete with the worms for food. Thanks for the help. The ones in my bin were all seeming to be in the top layer

Yeah they're good to have around and are quite common in worm castings.
