noun
zoologytechnical
A mite or tick, a tiny arachnid belonging to the group Acarina.
Acarids are small eight-legged relatives of spiders, and they include the mites found in dust, flour, plants and animal fur. Many are barely visible, though some feed on blood and carry disease. The word comes from a Greek term for a tiny creature, and zoologists use it when speaking of the whole group rather than of one named species.
