Pete, great article.
 However, I'm confused by certain things - firstly....13,000 species? More like 48,000 surely? I was drafting an article, but I was struggling to make it less academic - I always get stuck into taxonomy etc and forget that most people don't actually care about nor need such info. At my rate it might have been done 2 months from now, woefully overdetailed! Perhaps I could add to this article and go through some of the main groups and clades of mites, they are quite fascinating.I'll have to see, I'm busy trying to get my head around multivariate stats at the moment which are...confusing. Oribatids are a particular (and recent) interest of mine, very cool little things.

I think you're correct, the amount of species is way beyond 13,000 but finding an accurate agreed upon figure seems fruitless. The point is there's a hell of a lot of different species, including those that attack humans, so trying to identify them is no easy task.
Adding to the information, even in academic form, is all good information worthy of reading by those who want to know more. Go ahead and add, I've tried to provide a both levels of information.
