Figure 5


Fig. 5. System for measuring pulling forces of Archegozetes longisetosus, using an analytical scale (A&D Instruments Ltd., UK). Mites were glued by the notogaster to an insect pin, which was mounted to a piece of modelling clay. Mites were attached to the vertical test surfaces and the scale was set to zero. Changes in masses were recorded with a personal computer and the software RsKey 1.34 (A&D Instruments Ltd., UK). Negative changes corresponded to pulling forces.
