Mite

5803   Hi there, I found this very tiny insect in my bathroom. It has an oval shape and yellow color, 6 legs and 2 antennas. The macro zoom is 19x. Could I please know the name of this insect?   Thank you in advance,   – Gregory

This is not an insect, but a mite. What appear to be antennae actually are its first pair of legs. There are several other arthropods lacking antennae that use one pair of their legs (usually the first pair) as if they were antennae. I cannot tell exactly what kind of mite this is, but it does not appear to be a biting kind like bird or rodent mites. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
