A family of predatory mites that are beneficial arthropods, often used in biological pest control.
From Greek 'anystan' (to resist) or possibly a Latinized proper name + '-idae' (taxonomic family suffix used in biological classification).
Anystidae mites are invisible to the naked eye but hugely important—farmers use them to control spider mites, representing how tiny creatures we can't see play enormous roles in agriculture.
