I have a bunch of white/yellowish mites that popped up out of no where. Are these something to worry about? Or will they be lil snacks for my thumbs?



They seem to be focusing on the moist areas. I see them on the glass and concentrated on the moist parts of the wood. I assume they came in on one of my plants.

I don't know if they're anything to worry about, but that top shot is great.

Thanks, I took it on my Microscope. It doesnt work so well for solid objects. Copopods and rotifers even developing eggs and larvae but not other things. I need a good disecting scope.

Example

That's so incredibly neat- so I take it there's a camera adaptor or something to allow you to photograph through it? So cool.

It can take still pics and video. One of the best investments I ever made.

Yea I love it, Ok so we determined the mites may be eating the mold. Does anyone forsee these becoming a problem? Or do I just have a outbreak of a good CUC? Speaking of CUC what is recommended for a vivarium other than springs and wood lice?

I couldn't see it becoming problematic if they're eating the mold- in fact I'd be more worried about the mold than the mites if it sticks around.
