According to new research, the tiny octopus creatures have face sex during sleep.

Invisible mites are present on all human skin and have strange mating habits.

Tangled couples cling to our hair when they meet, a “swimming chandelier” version of the owl world.

They are transmitted at birth and are carried by almost everyone. As the pores grow, the number of adults peaks.

Today, scientists have unearthed the mysterious life of living things, from physical characteristics to the future of evolution.

The first complete DNA analysis shows that they behave like simplified organisms that could soon be with us.

Professor Alejandra Perotti, co-author from the University of Reading, said:

“These changes in its DNA have brought some unusual characteristics and behaviors to the body.”

There are more than 48,000 species of mites, two of which live on our face. They can only be seen under a microscope and look like wall plugs.

The long tapered body is attached at one end with bent legs. We spend more time with strange creatures than with any other animal.

They even protect from acne and scars by cutting the pores.

Mites are relatives of spiders, they are buried in our hair follicles and can eat the secreted oil. They join near the surface.

Their presence is isolated with no exposure to external threats, no competition from invading host, or no encounter with other mites.

Due to genetic decline, we were able to survive with a minimal repertoire of proteins. This is the lowest number ever found in mites.

The small legs are innervated by only three unicellular muscles. The mites are not protected from ultraviolet light and have lost the genes that wake the animals up during the day.

It also cannot produce melatonin, a compound that activates small invertebrates at night.

However, they can enhance mating sessions at night by using melatonin, which is secreted by human skin in the evening.

The placement of their unique genes also causes their strange mating habits. The reproductive organs have advanced.

Men have a penis that sticks out in front of their body. When crossing, both human hairs are joined and must be placed under the woman and crossed.

One of those genes is inverted and provides a special arrangement of oral supplements that are also used to gather food. This helps them survive at a young age.

Mites have more cells than young adults; Contrary to previous assumptions, parasites reduce the number of cells in the early stages of development.

This is the first step in turning a tick into a symbiont. This is closely related to much larger humans.

Lack of exposure to potential pairs that can add new genes to their offspring can lead to evolutionary stalls and potential extinctions.

This phenomenon was previously observed in intracellular bacteria, but not in animals.

Some scientists suggest that mites do not have anus and must accumulate all feces for life before dying, causing skin irritation.

However, studies have shown that they have anus and are therefore unfairly blamed for many skin diseases.

Co-author Dr. Hank Bryg of Bangor University adds:

“Long-term relationships with people can indicate, for example, that they can play a simple but important role in cleaning our pores.”

This study was published in the Journal Molecular Biology and Evolution.
