If you're telling yourself that you don't need to worry because you haven't noticed any dust mites in your house, think again. Dust mites are incredibly tiny creatures. They only reach a size of one-quarter to one-third of a millimetre, and your eyes cannot see them. You could see that dust mites resemble white spiders under a microscope. They are arthropods because they have eight legs (not insects).
