I do not remember the reference but there is a book on mites on moths.

Subject: Help! Mites on mounted butterflies


> I am an amature butterfly collector, and I've gotten reasonably good at
it.
> Unfortunately, I discovered in one of my mounts a tiny mite.  About one mm
> long, and white/clear in color.  I don't know what it is, how/why I got
it, and
> if I should just get rid of that mount so that it doesn't spread to the
rest of
> my butterflies.  I would like to get rid of it in that mount if possible,
but
> I'm at a loss.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
