The mighty Mite

ID: Mite on Two striped telemonia

One of the usual sight during the monsoon season, was surprising for me to witness a healthy telemonia being evaded by the mite. While returning from the hot and humid trail, me and Akshay stumbled upon this beauty, though initially missed on the invader, later tried to keep the parasite in frame on the mighty predator.

Oh couple of mites can be seen on it. Not sure if they had attacked as it had some wound or something? Good observation. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting behaviour. Great that you were able to find this. Thanks for sharing.
