ok well im posting this here as well as the insect forum. im in need of predatory mites specifically H. miles. i keep on finding mites throughout my enclosures...and havent seen hem till this spring(didnt have them in past years) anyway whn i look in my water dishes there are very very very tiny mites on the waters surface. so please if any of you have some CHEAP places to get these in the US that would be great......thanks guys.

the very little "mites" you see on the waters surface are most likely sprigtails.
do they look white?

This question comes up every so often. The companies names and info get posted here and then it fades into the back pages. If only there were a way to search through the info that has come before.

thanks bamato! awsome site. the first places i looked(which i found using the search button david) were purely outrageous and was like 50 for 1000 this is 22 for 10,000 way way cheaper! and moose what re springtails? because yes these are white little things that seem to be standing on the waters surface. didnt look like mites i had seen before but assumed they were just the smaller young mites. but i did find some acual 100% garunteed mites in my l.P. tank.

Umm I guess you already saw the last post in that thread that listed places where you can purchase mites but you still had to ask where you can buy some?
