''Psoroptes cuniculi'' is a [[:Category:Non-Burrowing Mites|non-burrowing parasite]], of the class ''Arachnida'' and is seen worldwide. It is found on the ears of the infected host and is generally seen in relatively small amounts. However, occasionally they will proliferate and the infection will become severe resulting in [[Psoroptic Mange|mange]].

The egg hatches forming an hexapod larvae. The larvae then moults forming a protonymph, which further moults to form a tritonymph, which then moults to become an adult. Each stage takes around two days, totalling to an approximate 10 day life cycle.
