Can anyone identify this bug? (I appreciate it's a little bit dead which makes it harder).

Found crawling on DS's leg. It was tiny (less than 5mm or so) and white/almost translucent.

The only thing I can think of that small and white would be an Aphid? I've white ones on my fruit trees at the moment

Otherwise, it could be something that's recently emerged and not yet developed colour but it doesn't look dangerous or bitey I don't think?

Dust mite?

Ah yes of course @MidgeMainCourse now you say it it looked just like an aphid.

DS wanted to keep it as a pet, he was not impressed that I swiftly removed it from his skin I'm case it was bitey!

@CopperSeahorses yes that's the closest I could come to through Googling but not exactly right I don't think
