It sounds most like this.
Spider mites are commonly attacked by predator mites. Five species are commercially available in the U.S.: Phytoseiulus persimilis, Mesoseiulus longipes, Neoseiulus californicus, Galendromus occidentalis and Amblyseius fallicus. Predator mites can be distinguished from spider mites because of their longer legs. The front pair of legs is often extended forward. They are more active and move about at a fast pace. They are often red or orange in color. P. persimilis is the most common predator and preys on all stages of mites. It can consume 20 eggs or 5 adults daily.

Assassin Bugs ?
They're harmless. Just crush them with your thumb or a kleenex. Don't use a toxic chemical on these insects. Just spray them with a mix of soap and water. That alone will drown them.
