    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.
