A genus of small, eight-legged arthropods related to mites and spiders, adapted to Arctic and high-altitude environments.
From Latin 'arcticus' (Arctic) with a feminine Latin ending. Named for the Arctic habitats where these creatures primarily live and thrive in extreme cold.
Arctisca are tardigrades' cousins and can survive being frozen solid and then thawed out later—they're real extremophiles living in the harshest environments on Earth!
