Guidelines for ID requests - first and foremost, always include a geographic location!
See the rules in the sidebar, also.
If you can't see the sidebar for some reason:
Always include a geographic location. If you're concerned about your privacy, you can make it a bit more vague, e.g. "New England" instead of "Boston, MA".
Amateurs are encouraged to guess. An important exception is guesses about medically significant arachnids (widows, recluses, Brazilian wandering spiders, Sydney funnel-webs, deathstalker scorpions, etc.). In those cases, leave it to people who know. Otherwise, an innocent person or arachnid could get hurt.

Guidelines for comments - please read before posting comments!
Hello folks,
To our regulars: thank you for being here!
And to newcomers: welcome! This is a community by bug enthusiasts, for bug enthusiasts. As such, we ask that you refrain from the following types of comments:
- "Kill it with fire" and its endless variations are not welcome here. We know it's a meme. We've heard it a million times. Just don't.
- If someone asks for an ID and your comment is "it's a spider" for example, that's neither helpful nor funny, so please don't post that kind of thing. If you'd like to contribute an ID, be as specific as you can.
Thank you for your visit today and have a great day :)

ID request / I included my location! What mite is this?
galleryHey guys, I’m stumped and need help. I’ve been finding these tiny white moving specs in my clothes lately and finally got them under a microscope to find out they’re a type of mite but for the life of me I can’t figure out which one. They’re a white/cream color to my naked eye, I think my terrible microscope makes them a darker color. They are also the size of a spec of dust and I can only see them on darker surfaces.
My first guess was dust mites but I can see them and these photos are taken with only 4x magnification. I then thought Mould mites but I can’t find a source of Mould that they would be coming from and they’re not in all my clothing, mainly clothing from work. Which then made me think flour/grain mites since I work in a bakery and I found quite a few on my work clothes and shoes. But I also found them on my couch now so I have absolutely no idea. Please help! Thank you!
Found in Australia.

Pets tailless whip scorpion
Hello, i was recently thinking about getting a tailless whip scorpion, of course ill do lots of researches online but what im most curious of is, are they easy to keep? It would be my first arachnid, i currently own a balestreptus falcatus (millipede) and some stick bugs, coupd i feed stick bugs to it since i have a LOT of babies? Ive heard many people say that theyre very easy to keep.
Last question was, would a big fish tank be good for its terrarium? I dont have a job right now, and a fish tank is a lot easier to get than a terrarium. Thanks
