  uropodid mite

  Fuscuropoda is a genus of predatory mites in the family Dinychidae (order Mesostigmata). The best-known species, Fuscuropoda vegetans, serves as a biological control agent in poultry facilities, where it preys on early-stage house fly larvae in manure. These mites occur naturally in most poultry operations and contribute to integrated pest management programs targeting fly populations.
