Aha! So these mites do live on leaves of other species of
Pinguicula! Not only should we check on all the Pings we can, but hell,
why not on Drosera, Byblis, Roridula, and Drosophyllum too?! And of
course, Triphyophyllum, in case anyone ever gets this species! Were
you aware of this article when you saw the mites Thor? Did you know what
those mites were doing there or are you killing yourself now for not
having noticed and published the discovery first!!
