How fast do redbugs move around?

I have a new purple valida, and I think I can just barely see the absolute tiniest reddish dots on it, and they seem to zip around from here to there. Do redbugs move somewhat quickly, or just crawl very slowly?

They are pretty quick

Ok. Thank you.

Almost all the red bugs in this video don't move but there are 2 bugs that do move a bit. This shows how fast they are. When I have seen them, most of the bugs were on the move and not stationary like this.

Yep, that's them. Worse than ticks!! Time to take action, I suppose.

Thank you for the link to the vid.
