Your spell cards are a joke.

I guess you don't mind being surrounded by hundreds of these things.

Okay, I summon our insect expert Anon in order to explain what's this thing.

Lady of the mansion? Don't know any.

That's a harvest mite, they're really small. They get attached to humans and animals and feed on their skin until they grow big and drop to the ground. It causes a lot of itching and some of them carry diseases.

Now make a moe personification of it!

I wouldn't be fazed, we're surrounded by hundreds of mites no matter what we do. They're one of the most diverse and widespread taxa out there, the only reason they're not beating out beetles is that mites are much tinier and hard enough to find, let alone characterize. But harvest mites aren't really that bad, the worst is probably a so-far undescribed Ophthalmodex species that lives in cat eyeballs. They're probably okay with human eyeballs too (that cat eye mite was extremely hard to find, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if a human eyeball mite remains undiscovered), given that the eyeball jelly is one of those very few places where the immune system can't reach. Sharks have it much worse when it comes to eyeball parasites, though, since their version (not a mite, a copepod this time) is about 5cm long and attaches itself to the eyeball with hooks.

Putting aside eyeballs, Acarophenax tribolii is probably the most appropriate mite for /jp/. This species reproduces exclusively via incest, the eggs hatch within the body of the mother and for each brood, there is a single male to impregnate about 15 of her sisters (while still in his mother's body, mind you.) The male dies within the mother, while the females escape to propagate. Think of it as Sister Princess, except with more prenatal incest.

Eyelash mites are cute too. You can probably guess where they live, and they feed on oils, skin cells and various waste. Their digestive system is so effective that they never need to excrete. Since pretty much everyone has then you can think of the eyelash mite as the archetypal childhood friend, chiding you for not taking care of yourself and trying to clean you by removing your waste products, but ultimately failing since she's barely half a milimeter long and it takes hours for her to cover even your eyelashes.
