Abstract
ABSTRACT Water mites have many survival behaviors in both adults and their progeny. Post-larval stages, including adult water mites, have no adaptations for survival outside the aquatic medium and so cannot live long outside this medium. The present paper reveals the water-seeking behavior of a Limnochares sp. (Acari: Limnocaridae) observed using a video camera. It is suggested that acarologists should use this inexpensive tool to study the many interesting behaviors of mites and ticks.
