Another part of our earth is home to mites, namely the ground water.

These mites have developed several strategies in order to live there: They either take the size of 200-400µ to enable them to move between sand particles, or they have got a worm-like shape.

They were first discovered at a Polish source, where they were washed to the surface. It took another 30 years to identify them in their normal surroundings by digging in ground water region.
