Pics of Booklice and Mites for Idenitfication

Mommy2Crabs · 10-01-2008, 01:23 AM

Above are pics of mites that can be found on crabs. They can be brown, red, white, black and yellow. Below are pics of Booklice.

Booklice have 6 legs while mites have 8. Booklice's body are oblong while mites are shorter and wider. Hope maybe this has helped.

HaHaHaHa...you're too funny!

Thanks for the great pics...I'm sure we all wondered what those hateful little buggers look like. How is your tank doing...are you any closer to becoming de-bugged?

Supernana, I've been worried about you. What did you do about those nasty bugs???

I think I would have had to dress in a Hazmat suit before I took on THAT task! And then dip myself in a saltwater bath...

. Poor thing---I hope all your crabs are doing ok.
