Tetranychidae
Spider mites are members of the Tetranychidae family, which includes about 1,200 species. They are part of the subclass Mite, Acari (mites). Spider mites generally live on the undersides of leaf, leaves of plants, where they may spin protective silk Spider web, webs, and they can cause damage by puncturing the plant Cell (biology), cells to feed. Spider mites are known to feed on several hundred species of plants. Description Spider mites are less than in size and vary in color. They lay small, spherical, initially transparent egg (biology), eggs and many species spin silk webbing to help protect the Colony (biology), colony from Predation, predators; they get the "spider" part of their common name from this webbing. Life cycle Hot, dry conditions are often associated with population build-up of spider mites. Under optimal conditions (approximately 27 °C), the two-spotted spider mite can hatch in as little as 3 days, and become sexually mature in as little as 5 days. One ...

Ameroseiidae
The family Ameroseiidae is one of the three families of mites under the superfamily Ascoidea. There are about 12 genera and more than 130 described species in Ameroseiidae. The family has a worldwide distribution. Description Ameroseiidae can be recognised by: a well-sclerotised and often strongly ornamented dorsal shield; usually 27-30 pairs of setae on the dorsal shield and setae ''J5'' always absent; the sternal shield often reduced to 2 pairs of setae with ''st3'' on shield or on platelets; the corniculi often toothed; the chelicerae sometimes with a membranous lobe; and the tectum usually simple, smoothly (rarely toothed) triangular or weakly to strongly mucronate. Leg chaetotaxy - the arrangements of setae on the legs - varies among species and genera, making this feature useful for classification. Ecology Ameroseiids occur in many habitats including forest litter, garden mulch, dead wood and associated fungi, flowers, animal nests, tree hollows, humid soils and v ...
