''Alaskozetes antarcticus'' is a species of non-parasitic mite, known for its ability to survive in subzero temperatures.〔 This animal's name derives from its habitat: ''Alasko'', meaning "from Alaska", and ''antarcticus'', in connection with frigid conditions in which the mite lives. Scientists are unclear as to how ''Alaskozetes antacticus'' has been able to adapt to an environment so different from those of other arthropods. Whereas most arthropod species inhabit hot, moist environments, ''A. antarcticus'' survives in freezing conditions with almost no humidity. There are three subspecies: ''Alaskozetes antarcticus antarcticus'', ''Alaskozetes antarcticus grandjeani'', and ''Alaskozetes antarcticus intermedius''. == Diet == The ''Alaskozetes antarcticus'' eats moss, algae and fungi. Contrary to popular belief these mites do not suck blood. They are harmless to humans and large organisms.
