A scientific or taxonomic term referring to the mites and ticks as a biological group or order.
From Latin 'acarus' with the suffix '-ina', used in taxonomic classification to denote a group or order of organisms.
Acarina is actually one of the most successful orders of animals on Earth in terms of diversity—there are more species of mites than species of mammals, yet most people have never seen one.
