Arctic mites, also known as the Antarctic midge (Belgica Antarctica), are small, wingless insects found in the polar regions, particularly in Antarctica. They are notable for their ability to survive extreme cold and harsh environmental conditions, including freezing temperatures and desiccation. These mites play a crucial role in the polar ecosystem as decomposers, breaking down organic matter and contributing to nutrient cycling. Their resilience and adaptability make them an interesting subject of study in the field of climate change and extremophile Biology.
