Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a dust mite,Dermatophagoides sp.,in a sample of house-hold dust. Every house contains millions of such dust mites,living in the carpets and furniture and feeding on the flakes of skin shed by their human landlords. It is estimated that the average double bed contains about two million dust mites of various species. The body of the mite is divided into three distinct areas; the gnathosoma (head region,right),the propodosma (the second section which carries the first and second pairs of walking legs) and the hysterosoma (carrying third and fourth pairs of walking legs).
