What are the characteristics of Acari?
Acarids are found in diverse habitats, including hot springs, caves, deserts, and tundras. They range in shape from minute, soft-bodied, elongated or circular individuals to large, hard-bodied, spiderlike ones. Some species have a dense covering of stiff hairs, or setae, while others are almost nude.
