Soil mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a common soil mite, Phthiracarus sp. This mite is typically found in moss and leaf litter. Mites are a highly adaptable group that are related to spiders and have eight legs (four of which are here seen raised). Some mite species are parasites, while soil mites form part of the great diversity of organisms that contribute to the break down of plant material. Magnification: x69 at 5x7cm size.
