Very difficult t tell, it could be red spider mite, not sure. Are there any webs? if is almost too small to see, then yes could be. If it is getting plenty is sun and you water regularly then it is not a problem keep the humidity high and they will disappear.You could wash the foliage off once a week that might help too.

Thanks for your reply.
regarding web is difficult to say because there are lot of spider around.
At the moment I'm misting the foliage quite often in the evening, regular watering and I did a treatment 4/5 days ago with a natural product.
still finding few on some branches but hope they disappear.
The tree is 4 meter away from all the rest of the collection hope that is enough to keep "mites" out from other tree

Yes, this is a spidermite.

You will have mites everywhere. Key is to create an environment where they do not multiple to a plague. Air movement, humidity, friendly environment for other bugs who might prey upon the spider mites.

DUring hot periods, I shower my trees with water and ensure the surroundings get watered to keep humidity in my bonsai area up.

unfortunately my back garden is all made with concrete and wall so not easy to keep humid
I started to do shower in the evening to my conifer but I can't do the same with deciduous
I found them on more tree and I try to keep them under control.
