 Yes, one of the "higher families" of Oribatida. The nymphs (and sometimes the adults) will carry the younger larval and nymphal skins on their backs - these skins or "scalps" have their original bristles, so the mite looks very bristly indeed.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
