Hi! I recently noticed a few mites on my Pink Leg millipede. Are they anything to worry about? I know some mites are ok, but I wanted to check.

He seems happy and healthy - roaming around, eating etc - but I thought I'd better ask! I've tried to attach a picture so yall can see what they look like. IMG_2918.JPG

Thanks in advance...

If the mites are dark and move around they are commensals. Small white stationary mites are more dangerous and need to be removed.
