Where they live:
Water Mites swim in slow flowing and shallow water among plants. They live in all freshwater environments, but are more abundant in species and number in slow-moving waters. They sometimes attach themselves to other aquatic insects at different times in their youth.
What they eat:
Water Mites eat plant or animal substances, decaying organisms, and humus (the dark, fertile matter in soils). They can be parasitic and attach themselves to other aquatic insects to feed off them.
