👉 The sericostomatidae, also known as the sericestomids, are a group of arachnids that primarily inhabit the skin of mammals and reptiles. They are characterized by their long, slender bodies with segmented tentacles, which they use to grasp and manipulate surfaces such as the skin or feathers of their prey. Sericostomatidae play an important role in the structure and function of the skin, as well as in the defense mechanisms of various animals.
