I am an extension entomologist at Colorado State (USA) and am preparing a
sheet explaining the varroa/tracheal mite situation and how to manage it
locally.
However, I would like to have a couple of illustrations of the mites and/or
their life history. I am unaware of anything that is in the "public
domain", that could be used without permission.
Does anyone have slides or line drawings of tracheal/varroa mites that could
be used in a handout? I would pay for expenses in duplicating and would
give credit to the source in any use. The plans are for use in in-state
handouts and on our CD-ROM of Extension fact sheets.
Please contact me directly if there is a possibility of working something out.
Thanks.
