Abstract in brief
The two-spotted spider mite (TSSM) is a highly adaptable pest that feeds on over 1100 plant species, thanks to its ability to modulate its digestive and detoxification systems.
Researchers used microscopy and tracer dyes to study the structure and function of TSSM's digestive system, revealing details about its filtering and digestion processes, as well as how it handles plant defense compounds.
The study highlights the simplicity of the TSSM digestive system and its implications for how the mite copes with plant defenses, influencing strategies for managing this pest.
This MITE be the creepiest and crawliest compilation we've ever done. These MITEY organisms are also microscopic and hard to spot. That's how they get away with being everywhere from the rinds of your favorite cheese to the pores of your face.

This adorable microbe looks like a cartoon spider, but it's actually another arachnid: a water mite. Many water mites have organs called glandularia that excrete a sticky substance when anything brushes up against their thick, bristly hairs. https://t.co/oDpvlvcXeJ https://t.co/XGAh1AMYKl
