There was a cluster of mites on the back of this large spider. Can anyone say any more about them than mite?

I've added the spider as a separate observation.

Banded Tunnelweb Spider. Going by the observation of a few weeks ago if this is a Hexathele kohua spider then it must reinforce that this spider is established in the far north!
