Have some oribatid mites for #MiteMonday. These tiny detritivorous soil-dwelling mites look kind of like shiny poppy seeds. The plates on their sides are called pteromorphs ("wing-shaped") and are a feature of certain groups.

#MiteMonday: an oribatid mite, a slow-moving detritivore with hard, shell-like armour. This one was manoeuvring around some spider silk. I have the feeling it's one of those ones whose name ends in -zetes? @frankashwood would have a better idea.

#Arachtober 20: a tiny oribatid or beetle mite, likely suborder Mixonomata (https://bugguide.net/node/view/238862), ubiquitous dwellers of soil and leaf litter, armoured decomposers.

It's still #MiteMonday somewhere…
Vignette from under a log. A snout mite (family Bdellidae) feeds on the remains of a springtail, with a guest appearance from a beetle mite (order? suborder? Oribatida)*.
* Above superfamily or so, mite taxonomic ranks start getting contentious.

#Arachtober 19: this cute little oribatid (found on a rotting log) seemed to have ladybug-like spots. These widespread and abundant detritus- and fungus-eating soil dwellers are sometimes called "beetle mites" because of their hard carapaces.

Kicking off #InverteFest with a galumnoid oribatid from my garden!

For #MiteMonday, here's a little oribatid I found under the bark of a rotting log in a very wet meadow. Unlike the poppyseed-like galumnoids I've posted before, this one has a clear division between head and abdomen. It would be serendipitous if it were a ptyctimous mite, as a new catalogue of this group was just published: https://www.mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5265.1.1

Just a couple of oribatid mites under a rock in the garden…Galumnoidea, perhaps?

#MiteMonday: a little oribatid from my recent High Park outing. Oribatids are abundant soil-dwelling detritivores and fungivores, sometimes called "beetle mites" because of their hard, shiny shells.

the crushing disappointment when you think you've found a bunch of big juicy mites and it's just some fucking beetles. no offence beetle people.
(there was one mite tho)

Here's an un-cropped version of the above pic that shows just how small those beetle mites are. #lichen #Oribatida #GraffitiLichen #nature #LichenSubscribe
