Mites are like ticks that belong to the class Arachnida and the subclass Acarina. When it comes to exploiting habitats, mites are definitely the most successful. Destroying habitats is easy for them because they're very small. Some mites are in fact microscopic, that they can go on exploiting niches without being noticed. You will find mites in water or soil, but you will also see them breed and destroy your fabrics and other properties inside your house. They feed on animals, plants, dirt and mold.

Is a moth a example of commensalism?

Commensalism is a relationship between two organisms where one organism benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. For the most part, moths have a mutualistic relationship with their environment. An example would be moths laying their eggs inside of a flower - the flower has a chance to spread its pollen to other flowers and reproduce in that way, and the moth gets to lay its eggs. This is, however, on a case by case scenario, and the yucca baccata (a type of plant also known as the Spanish Dagger) "cheats" and allows the yucca moth larvae to die after pollination.

What is dust made out of?

Dust includes miscroscopic particles from the air that settles on objects or areas inside or outside. Outside, it can contain particles of earth, pulverized stone that turned to dust, remnants of garbage or debris, broken down particles from leaves and plants, plant pollens, and chemicals used on lawns or industries. Interestingly, "dust" from volcanic eruption can be carried around the world and affect people in other countries. Inside, dust can contain air particles, lint from clothing, dead skin cells, dandruff from people, dander from pets and their dead skin cells, fur and human hair, and anything brought in from the outside. Dust mites are also in dust, where dust mites feed on people and pet's dead skin cells.
