Human Face Mite (Demodex brevis)Observer
davidenriqueDescription
Found on the nasal ala/alar crease of a Homo sapiens sapiens, using a gentle deep skin scrape procedure that didn't involve any capillary bleeding.
First mite measures ~210um x 44um
Second mite ~334um x 34um
After that I got lazy and didn't measure them.
Most of them weren't moving, but this one was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd-NarK9NjE
I also found a Demodex folliculorum in thes same sample:
