These are mesostig mites on my Gromphadorrhina portentosa! :)

In terrariums they are found on other roaches as well, but in the nature they are restricted only to hissers.

Very cool picture. Could you post that over on arachnoboards? I think people would like to see them as they're always asking what they look like.
