The photo clearly shows the dense #scaling of the #pronotum, serving, i.a., for camouflage. But how generally can the link between selective pressure and #evolutionaryradiation in #scarabbeetles be reconstructed? (See Y. Tong et al.,2024).

Years ago, with my then-host in the USA, John C. Moser, I described the #myrmecophilous #phoretic #mite #Histiostoma #blomquisti as a new #species (S.F.Wirth & J.C.Moser, 2010).
In a recent #sciencecomm. #article, I reconstructed its #biology, being found on active #queens of ant #Solenopsis #invicta, from my current perspective (S.F.Wirth,2026).

RE: https://mastodon.scot/@kim_harding/115984446339509467
#Sarcoptes #scabiei var. hominis (#Astigmata, Acariformes) is a skin-#parasitic #mite that feeds on human #epidermal cells. Infection typically occurs via adult, mated #females.The mite has #subspecies found on both #domestic and #wild #animals. The #evolutionary direction was via #humanancestors to humans and from there #spreading first to domestic animals and then to wild animals (see ref).

In summer when I was looking for galls to photograph for National Gall Week, I suspected that many were high above in the trees. Come autumn some of the leafy sort began drifting to ground...the first I noticed literally fell into my lap as I was sitting for a coffee break while woodcutting! That one is yet to come, this one came along the next day (mid October). Possibly Poplar Gall Mite Phyllocoptes populi, on a leaf of Populus balsamifera Balsam

It's week 3 of fatherhood, and today I was granted special dispensation from shopping, housework, nappies and feeding, to do a brief spot of macrophotography in the sunshine, brilliant!
The highlight was this incredible Oribatid mite, sporting long defensive spines (Neotrichozetes spinulosa). I've nicknamed it the Hellraiser mite, which seems to be catching on - feel free to use it too!

In my new YouTube #video, I tell the #hypothetical story of a #Histiostomatidae #mite that lived its #lifehistory in the #dung heap of the #dinosaur #Edmontosaurus #annectens during the Late #Cretaceous. It developed #fungivorously within the dung and, when conditions deteriorated, was #transported by #flies to a new habitat (phoresis). All images and footage created with #AI assistance, except photos of free-living mites.

This little beasty popped out from between the gills of a 'shroom I was trying to photo. A Moss Mite I'm told , something like Damaeus onustus.

Why a #mite of the #Parasitidae (#Mesostigmata), apparently genus #Parasitellus, seemingly attacks moth #Pyrausta #despicata (Crambidae). Parasitellus develops in #bumblebee #nests and uses them for dispersal (#phoresy) to other nests, thus they leave their hosts on blossoms and wait for new hosts to be carried to new nests. The moth was detected by the mite as a #nonsuitable #phoretic #host.

CW: video of tiny bugs, probably mites
Hey Fedi, I need your help identifying these tiny critters. What are they? And how do I get rid of them, because I, uh, kinda got an infestation in my van's bathroom.
Some kind of #mite?
Photo with finger for scale, and videos made with a cheap USB microscope.
Feel free to suggest additional hashtags to help with identification.

My #YouTube #article points to my upcoming nature #video, showing interesting #biological #interactions on a common #dandelion inflorescence. A #mite (#Parasitellus sp.) appears to be attacking a #moth (#Pyrausta #despicata), but in reality, this is merely a #mistake by the mite, which is actually looking for a bee, presumably bumblebee, as a #phoretic #host for #dispersal.
