This mite belongs to the Arthropoda phylum, Arachnida class, Acaridae family. It is rather small, with a body length of 0.28 to 0.42 millimeters, milky white body color, long body hair with side branches around it, and is characterized by one pair of slightly short hairs and six pairs of long hairs at the back. It is distributed worldwide, but is a particularly representative species in Japan. It infests a wide range of foods, including grains, flour, sweets, dried fish, miso, sugar, shichimi pepper, cheese and other dairy products. It can sometimes infest tatami mats or even straw itself, causing damage to greenhouse-grown cucumbers.
