Peacock mite, Tuckerella sp. | Peacock mites are so named because of elaborate ornamentations adorning the dorsal surface of their bodies. Also possess five to seven pairs of whip-like setae (hairs) projecting posteriorly which they use in defense against predators. Understanding of these ornamentations is still very limited; studies carried out in Australia suggest that they also play a functional role in windburn dispersal. Mites are not actually insects, classified as class Arachnida.
