webiocosm's video: A Termite and its Pests Mites and Nematodes

I found some little termites living large on the fringe of my compost heap so I put one under my Celestron digital LCD microscope and this is what I found. These are mites and nematodes (roundworms) which are both known to parasitize temites (or it may be commensalism in the case of the mite). Here is a study from Florida Entomologist on "MITES AND NEMATODES ASSOCIATED WITH THREE SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE SPECIES (ISOPTERA: RHINOTERMITIDAE"): http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/10-Mites-and-nematodes.pdf My best guess from the research I have just done including reading the abstract of the above paper is that the organisms here are as follows: Eastern Subterranean Termite - Reticulitermes flavipes Mite - Family Acaridae, Genus Australhypopus Nematode - Family Rhabditidae, Genus Rhabditis Anyone with more knowledge of these species please feel free to offer corrections in the comments.
