Answer 2

I read about chiggers in the internet, I think that the translation would be "acaros". They are common in the animals. In the humans, would be "piojos", the ones that make you scratch your head.

Piojos son "fleas" El un animalito bien diferente que el que están discutiendo aquí. "Acaros" es mejor. A veces se oye "chinches." - Daniela2041, Jul 26, 2016

Aprendí que “piojos” = “lice” (y liendre= nit), “pulgas”= “fleas” y “ácaros”= mites (que no son insectos), y “chinches”= “bugs” (de varios tipos, incluyendo “bedbugs”) y son insectos. - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2016

Chiggers son un tipo de mite. Lice son un tipo de insecto. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2016

Chiggers están en esta familia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trombiculidae (pero sólo algunas de las especies). :) - bosquederoble, Jul 26, 2016

@ Bosque: I always get fleas and lice mixed up. Los perros y gatos tienen dificultaded con "pulgas" ¡Ay! My link give some good alternatives for "chiggers" - Daniela2041, Jul 27, 2016

I agree with EleRo that "acaros" is probably the most common word. - Daniela2041, Jul 27, 2016

Your link was excellent, that is why I voted for it and didn't put any further answer until this. But I think everyone know I include biology in the sciences that interest me. :) - bosquederoble, Jul 27, 2016
