"It was long thought impossible to infer clear types from the constantly shifting skies. But based on the journals [Luke Howard, industrial chemist by trade and amateur meteorologist by calling] kept since the age of ten, Howard became the first to name standard cloud formations systematically. "

#Arachtober 4: March mating mesostig madness!

These are an ubiquitous sort of soil-dwelling predatory mites, likely in the family Parasitidae (ironically, primarily predators) in the order Mesostigmata in the superorder Parasitiformes. They are only very distantly related to the whirligig mite I posted the other day, which is in superorder Acariformes. While the two superorders are traditionally grouped together under Acari, it is likely they don't share a common ancestor and should be treated separately. So I'm counting them as a different group!

On the underside of a piece of rotting wood are two glossy, teardrop-shaped red-brown mites, one upside down and clinging to the other with its legs. These mites' first pair of legs are thin and somewhat elongated, and they use them much like antennae.

A more top-down view. The mite in front has a pale gap between the red-brown shields or plates that cover the top and bottom half of its body, like a sandwich. It is a common mesostig feature.
