Oppiella nova is a species of soil mite in Oppiidae family that can be found worldwide including Oahu, Hawaii and Okinawa, Japan.[1] The species is 350 micrometres (0.014 in) long and 180 micrometres (0.0071 in) wide with short setae.[2]
It is among the few animal species capable of surviving on asexual reproduction alone.[3][4]
