Xespok, Are you sure having seen six legs?!? I would guess: oribatid mite (Acari: Oribatida: ?Galumnidae). so long, xylo Edited by xylo on 23-10-2008 11:42 |

Could well be mites. I thought of some Ptinid beetles, but they should be much larger. Honestly I can not even say which part is the head and which part is the tail. I did not collect the specimens, so did not count the legs.

These are oribatid mites, but I wouldn't like to guess which!
