Human Spider mites go on the offensive

One way you know if what you are doing works or not is from the reaction of the mites.

The approach we have taken works, and the spider mites regrouped, watched my habits, observed me for a few days/night and then did what they had to do to survive as a family.

They decided that there are two periods when I am too unaware for them to safely deposit their eggs… starting about two hours after I turn the light off, and while I am working on my computer.

So far so good, but what else did they do?

They went into emergency mode, and had the one male fertilize the eggs of 10 females… ((Females have infertile eggs in them waiting for a male to fertilize the eggs… When that happens, the female is ready to lay the eggs right away. No waiting time))

Don’t forget, the females dies when she had done her job of depositing and protecting its eggs. I even think the female becomes food during the long journey in the alimentary canal… stomach, intestines…

I asked my Consciousness to alert me… and it did, faithfully, so I could drink my tea to kill the eggs.

Result: the remaining adults angrily attacking me… unpleasant, but no danger.

Next night: ten more females depositing 30 eggs… Consciousness woke me up twice to drink my tea.

And then, next morning, today, another two females, an hour apart… both times I followed it with the tea, so I have won round two.

I still count 10 females and one male… we shall see what is their next move.

If I am lucky, they knock themselves out… because without offspring, they are done…

I feel giddy… but return to alertness… giddy is often a sign of overconfidence and lowering alertness.. not this time!
