I found the mite locations to be unpredictable.. deep in a the center of a gall I found none, usually, but in one plant, that was the only place I found mites. they do seem to normally be nearer the surface, but buried still (not gotten any mites right off the open surface). Mites do wiggle a lot, but should not be able to be seen by you naked eye..if you did see something like that, were not mites..
