The beetle looks like it could be a strawberry seed beetle, or similar (a ground beetle/ predator type that is likely an accidental visitor). The little guy looks like a predatory mite (Stratiolaelaps scimitus in particular).
Happy to be corrected/ educated though if I’m wrong on either, especially since I know there is some variation between Mass and Oklahoma!
