Veigaiidae
Veigaiidae is a family of mites belonging to the superorder Parasitiformes. However they are not parasitic but free-living and predatory and are found in soil and decaying organic matter. Some species are specialists of rocky shorelines. Members of this family can be distinguished by a hyaline appendage on the tarsus of the pedipalp.

gollark: What, really? I must be misremembering it.
gollark: What, AE2 or Milo?
gollark: Oh, and obviously Milo has an implementation, I don't know what constraints it has.
