I hadn't either (and I see and get bitten/stung by them a fair bit) which is why I took the photo. I also thought it was cool.

This particular worker was munched on by a/mites during its larval/cocooning stage and has lost its pigmentation.

Hi @SimonPDunstan, that information on mites is very interesting. Can you point me to a reference I can look at? Cheers, Jon
