Yesterday was my first day of being self employed ( hell yeah german bureaucracy ) and i agentic engineered a TUI application for the awesome time tracking service #mite … Am i doing this right?! #foundingInPublic

Opiliones (Harvestmen) Large chelicerae useful for identification Leg-like pedipalps of various morphologies, useful for identification Odoriferous gland for defense pruposes 2 median eyes sitting on an ocularium Prosoma & opisthosoma broadly joined, often merged together Dorsal side often covered by a +/- long scutum (shield) Legs often elongated, with tarsus split in numerous tarsomeres (up to 100) Anus often can be way more forward than in other arachnids Genital opening thrust forward between the legs and also bears the tracheal respiratory system Legs’ coxae well-developed & forming a stomotheca (a pre-oral chamber before the mouth) Note: Harvestmen show a wide diversity of morphologies concerning the prosoma-opisthosoma fusion and their ventral side, so the one here doesn’t exist & is a fusion of several types to reflect the broad average of what you can find among these arthropods.
Palpigradi Large projected forward chelicerae No eyes, presence of specific sensory organs at the body front (called “frontal organ” & “lateral organ”) Prosomal carapace subdivided from front to back into: propeltidium, mesopeltidium, metapeltidium Last pair of legs 8-segmented Last 3 segments of the opisthosoma smaller & forming a postabdomen Telson modified into a flagellum of 15-ish segments, can easily break Ventral sacs (if Eukoeneniidae, absent in Prokoeneniidae). No external respiratory system, the animal is small enough for gas exchanges to occur through the weakly sclerotinized exoskeleton Genital plate extending backward Long pedipalps, used for walking, retention of 3 claws at the appendage’s end The first pair of legs is 12-segmented and mainly used as sensory appendages while walking
Solifugae 2-segmented super enlarged chelicerae 2 median eyes on a high spot Prosomal carapace subdivided from front to back into: propeltidium (larger & raised), mesopeltidium, metapeltidium Patella is usually longer than the femur Tarsus divided into tarsomeres, usually 3 tarsomeres but sometimes more (like 6 among solpugids) Double trochanter on the 3° & 4° walking legs Soft 10-segmented opisthosoma 3 pairs of tracheal openings on the underside of the opisthosoma malleoli/racquet organs on the coxae & trochanter of the last pair of legs, acting as sensitive organs close to the ground 1 pair of tracheal openings between the 2° & 3° walking legs First pair of walking legs significantly shorter than pedipalps Long & strong leg-like pedipalps, covered with highly sensitive setae Adhesive organ at pedipalps’ tip
The mite body plan Although not forming a single monophyletic group and having a morphological diversity way too vast to be exhaustively synthesised in a single drawing, all chelicerates called “mites”, from flour mites to ticks, share a broad body plan easily recognizable, even tho there are many variations depending on which group you’re looking at. The prosoma’s part bearing chelicerae & pedipalps is detached from the body and is called “gnathosoma” Prosoma & opisthosoma fused, forming a new body part called “idiosoma”. Some groups have dorsal shields. The front half bearing the first 2 pairs of legs is called “propodosoma”, and the back half “hysterosoma) Small eyes can be present, most often on the idiosoma forward sides Legs’ segment count is HIGHLY variable depending on the considered group Anal plate Genito-ventral plate Breathing through tracheae if present (openings usually directed to the front half of the body) Legs’ coxae can be fused to the idiosoma in some groups Caruncle/ Pre-tarsus Sternal plate

This animal (and the other species from the same complex of species) may be the most widespread mite in the world. Humans interact with it mostly when it thrives in unsealed food stocks. Size: 0,5-ish mm of body length Time period: Holocene (present day) Conservation status: Least concern The animal drawn is a small mite with a rounded oval body, long filaments and 8 stuby legs
What time is it? It’s #Cheliceratime !
This time, the longest cheliceratime post ever and a favorite of mine, we're talking about the mite Acarus siro!
All the basic infos are here but if you want to learn more, there’s way more below!⬇️ 🧵

A 2mm mite found in leaf litter.
A 1mm mite found in leaf litter.
Any UK #mite #arachnid people out there? I have found some of these in my pitfall traps and don’t know if there is a key for the UK?
These are about 1-2mm long. Quick&dirty iPhone photos from the microscope as it was late and couldn’t face setting up the camera on the trinocular mount.

Looking down on an orange-brown oval creature. It has a translucent shell through which are visible some paler orange-brown pits.
Looking on the underside of the same orange-brown creature. There are four pairs of legs arranged such that the head end of the creature is to the lower right of picture.
Found this morning in Brede High Woods (in horrible weather). Some kind of Mite. Am thinking it is probably one of the Uropodidae, a mesostigmatic mite.
Can anyone help with id?

🌿Predatory #mite Neoseiulus barkeri uses NbNPC2-2 & NbNPC2-3 to bind herbivore-induced plant volatiles, luring it to pest-infested plants to find prey. Silencing these genes wipes out the attraction. #Biocontrol #behavior

Picture of the holotype of the devonian mite Protochthonius gilboa, with a pear-share body and long thick setae on its back
Say hello to Protochthonius gilboa, a devonian mite from Gilboa (USA) and an early representative of the oribatids, a major group of mites well represented today !

Feeling cute, *mite* delete later. Did you see what I did there? These red spider mites are so sodding small, and never stopped moving. I just waited until one came into focus and pressed the button 😅 But, up close, they really are quite sweet. #photography #macrophotography #arachnid #macro #mite

As of last week it started to rain, finally, so I’m back!
I went out today and found this Tetranychus species of spider mite, complete with webbing, which you can just make out in the background. A stunningly beautiful colour. I can still take photos, which is a relief.

#Galls on alder leaf. Caused by saliva of two #mite species, which live in them while sucking tree's juices. Prominent, scattered pink galls caused by Eriophyes laevis; green galls in leaf-vein axils by E inangulis. Effective life strategy but slightly…galling! Watford, Hertfordshire, England.

Dorsal view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.
Lateral view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.
An oblique view of a dark bluish mite with a thick white stripe down its back and red legs crawls on the pale green underside of a leaf. The mites front legs are long and stretched out, while its hind legs are slightly thickened.
Inspired by @rosariolebronentomology.com's post, I also recently saw a nifty thick-thighed eupodid #mite. This one was on a leaf in a sample we received in the lab. Apparently these can jump with the enlarged hind legs.
