Talk:Chigger (arthropod)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is just a disambig page now; most content is now at the article harvest mite. — Stevey7788 (talk) 06:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Now that the content is at harvest mite and chigoe flea, I don't understand why there are two disambig pages. why not jsut move this page back to chigger and merge it with that to look like:
A Chigger can refer to a number of things:
- Either of two parasitic arthropods with similar behaviors:
- the chigoe flea (Tunga penetrans)
- the larva of the harvest mite (Trombicula alfreddugesi).
-
- The name originated as a corruption of chigoe, but the harvest mite is what is most commonly called a chigger in North America, due to its similar behavior.
- A slang term

- What do you think? This page has the page history, chigger is now just a recently created disambig. - Taxman Talk 16:04, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
- It was pretty annoying to type chigger and have to go thru two disambiguation pages to get to the info. Consolidate the pages, please. NickelShoe 06:16, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
