I was doing some sugar dust rolls the other day but I was in a bit of a hurry so I stored the sugar and mites in marked jars for later counting. At that stage most of the visible mites were clearly alive and struggling about. After getting changed I had a quick peek and noticed the mites weren't stirring, even when clear of the dust. Three hours later I returned to do the counting and found the mites were dead.
Normally, I sift the sugar for reuse on the spot and throw the mites to the ants so I just assumed the mites survived dusting. Apparently not. Has anyone noticed the same?
