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.
