What do dust mites look like?Updated 7 months ago

Dust mites are very small and not visible to the naked eye. They are about 0.3 millimeters in size and are translucent, so they appear almost transparent. They have a pear-shaped body and eight legs, and they are closely related to spiders and ticks. Dust mites are usually found in bedding, furniture, and carpets, where they feed on the flakes of skin that humans and animals shed.
