These mites splurge out into the open during rainy season. Later they very viciously party on invertebrates, but let's overlook that... they're just so - cushy. I stalked a few to hold them on my palm, the sensation of their coat felt amazing. There were a dozens of them loitering about near the tennis courts of JNU, where I happened to be that morning playing tennis (and not really focusing on the game). These things should have plush toys designed after them - hello, the world, take cues.
I'm surprised to learn that the species is endemic to the Northern Plains of India, since I've never come across these before this monsoon! They're colloquially referred to as "Rani Keeda" my side of the language segment, but never have I heard that utterance from anybody in my circles. I should probably ask some biology masters from DU for more info.
