Tarsonemus Mite Female
The female can be distinguished from the male by its
slightly larger size and by its very thin,
long, fourth pair of legs. These are visible in this photograph directed straight
back over the
last sixth of the mites body in the lower part of the image. The head of the mite is
facing up.
