   🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨
   
   Hydrachnidia, also known as "water mites", are among the most abundant and diverse groups of benthic arthropods, composed of 6,000 described species from 57 families.
   
   Water mites have a complex life cycle that includes a larval stage, parasitic on insects, and predatory nymphal and adult stages. All major groups of aquatic insects (with the exceptions of Ephemeroptera and Megaloptera) are hosts of larval water mites.
   
   One square metre areas of substrate from littoral weed beds in eutrophic lakes may contain as many as 2000 deutonymphs and adults representing up to 75 species in 25 or more genera.
