Bdellid

/ˈbdɛlɪd/ noun

Definition

A member of the family Bdellidae, a group of small predatory mites that feed on other microscopic arthropods.

Etymology

From Greek 'bdella' (βδέλλα) meaning 'leech,' referencing how these mites attach to and feed on other organisms. The scientific naming convention adds '-id' to indicate membership in a family.

Kelly Says

Bdellid mites are fierce microscopic hunters—they eat smaller bugs, and they got their name from the word for 'leech' because of how they latch onto prey, showing that even tiny creatures have predator-prey drama!
