I’ve been looking for these chiggers because I have numerous chigger “bites” after walking through the grass. Ankles, behind my knees, along the edges of my clothing, so itchy! This one was found on my arm.
There is an super informative article on Chiggers: Biology, Systematics, Microbiome, Pathogen Transmission and Control of Chiggers (Acari: Trombiculidae, Leeuwenhoekiidae) with Emphasis on the United States by Postdoctoral Research Scholar Kaiying Chen, Professor Michael Roe, and Principal Research Scholar Loganathan Ponnusamy, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, found in the National Library of Medicine, Pubmed and other scientific data bases online. Here is one link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36429867/
I hope this team gets to continue their Chiggers research.
