#oribatida etching + aquatint! I like how Oppiella turned out, also the dark Achipteria is okay I think. I need, however, more practice in producing the tones I anticipated with this acid bath. Process included several small crises, but I still love it 😵💫😍
Finished 😊 This is my take on the color diversity in #Oribatids. Beautiful earthy tones from deep black to light yellow combined with the most fancy armor 😍 #oribatida #soilfauna #mesofauna #soil
One post more for this #MiteMonday! Here is Tricheremaeus abnobensis an oribatid mite that we found in the lichen #Cladonianorvegica. This little hairy fellow is covered with the green soredia of the lichen. #Oribatida, #lichen.
It's #MiteMonday again! Here a picture of the oribatid mite Platynothrus peltifer, a geographically and ecologically widespread species. It dwells in forest soil and litter but can also be found in peatlands and various freshwater habitats. #Oribatida, #SoilBiodiversity
It is #MiteMonday. Here a so-called 'boxmite'! It has got a ptychoid body, which means it can retract its legs into the opisthosoma and close like a seed or grain of sand. This behaviour is a protection against #predators, like Gamasina. #Oribatida, #Oribotritia

It's #MiteMonday again. Today we feature a photo of Nanhermannia cf. coronata. It is a slow moving palaearctic mite, which often occurs in wet habitats, like wet meadows, forests and bogs. #Oribatida
It is #MiteMonday! Here a photograph of a mite with a fascinating look for an eight legged creature. It is a Conoppia nymph wearing the skalps of preceding stages and having lateral setae shaped like broad leaves. Beautiful, isn´t it?! #Oribatida

It is #MiteMonday! What looks like a decaying piece of wood is a Camisia spinifer. It is covered with debris and fungi but it is still alive, moving around slowly not to attract attention. #Oribatida, #Camouflage
It is #MiteMonday! Here a pic of an adult #Nothrus. These mites are relatively large and often occur in wet habitats, like wet meadows or swamps. #Oribatida
