| View Cart ⇗ | Info
The itch mite (Sarcoptes) is a genus of skin parasites, and part of the larger family of mites collectively known as “scab mites". Adult scabies mites are spherical, eyeless mites with four pairs of legs. They are recognizable by their oval, ventrally flattened and dorsally convex tortoise-like body and multiple cuticular spines. Females are 0.30 to .45 mm long and 0.25 to 0.35 mm wide, and males are just over half that size.
