Trombidium Holosericeum
''Trombidium holosericeum'' is a species of mite in the genus ''Trombidium''. It occurs in Europe, Asia, and North Africa and is commonly confused with other red mite species. Description This species is one of the largest mites in northern temperate zones, with a body length of about ). The soft, brightly red body is covered with fine hairs, giving it a velvety appearance. The small eyes are located on stalks. They have scissor-like chelicerae and their pedipalps are used as touch organs. Its bright red color results from carotenoids, warning predators about the toxicity of the mite (aposematism). Almost nothing is known about the toxic substances used, but they are probably contained within the integument. The specific name (zoology), specific epithet is derived from Ancient Greek , , "whole" and , , "silken". Biology While adults live freely and are often found wandering about, searching for small animals and insect eggs for food, the larvae try to find a host to attach the ...

Trombidium Grandissimum
''Trombidium grandissimum'', commonly known as the giant red velvet mite, is a species of mite in the genus ''Trombidium'' in the family Trombidiidae. The mite is endemic to northern and central India, where it is called 'Badal kida', 'Bhir-buti', 'Birbhoti' or 'Bir Bahoit'. ''T. grandissimum'' is normally seen during the rainy season or after recent rain events, and therefore has the nickname of "rain bug". Description ''Trombidium grandissimum'' has a soft cushioning skin covered with bright red coloured hairs. These insects are terrestrial and live in soil burrows. They are found in dry, arid, desiccating regions. These mites are predatory in nature and feed on termites and eggs of insects, like ants. They share many similarities with the order Araneae. The insect is used therapeutically in the treatment of paralysis and sexual dysfunction. The mites are a bright red colour attributed to the pigment carotene. A study on the spider mite ''Tetranychus urticae'' shows that car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mite
Mites are small arachnids (eight-legged arthropods). Mites span two large orders of arachnids, the Acariformes and the Parasitiformes, which were historically grouped together in the subclass Acari, but genetic analysis does not show clear evidence of a close relationship. Most mites are tiny, less than in length, and have a simple, unsegmented body plan. The small size of most species makes them easily overlooked; some species live in water, many live in soil as decomposers, others live on plants, sometimes creating galls, while others again are Predation, predators or Parasitism, parasites. This last type includes the commercially destructive ''Varroa'' parasite of honey bees, as well as scabies mites of humans. Most species are harmless to humans, but a few are associated with allergies or may transmit diseases. The scientific discipline devoted to the study of mites is called acarology. Evolution and taxonomy The mites are not a defined taxon, but is used for two disti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
