|q2=Why is it important to see multiple life stages?
|a2=
*It is important to see multiple life stages to confirm active proliferation consistent with infection.
*This follicular mite can also sometimes be found in skin scrapings of asymptomatic dogs.
*Multiple life stages as seen here indicate active proliferation.
*The adults have eight legs, the nymphs have six legs and the bodies are elongated.
