Redberry Mite in Primocane Blackberries?

No, I don't think so and see for yourself with the photo series below.  I have quite a few more of these pictures, but I think you'll get the point with the two series posted.

I've been getting a host of questions concerning what appears to be redberry mite on primocane blackberries - PrimeArk 45 and proprietary varieties -  with red druplets mixed in with ripe ones, but if one marks the fruit and waits for a couple of days the red druplets have ripened fully.  Now, the question is how this uneven maturity affects fruit quality, but that is something to be answered another day.
