Eurasian blue tit host is "Proctophyllodes stylifer". However, this mite seems to be of no concern to the bird as, until now, it is only known to feed on dead feather tissue. "P. stylifer" lives all its developmental stages, i.e. egg, larva, protonymph, tritonymph and adult, within the plumage of the same host. The usual sites where "P. stylifer" is encountered are the remiges and the rectrices of the bird where they can be found tandemly positioned between the barbs of the rachis. The Eurasian blue tit is classified as a least concern species on the IUCN Red List (version 3.1), and as
Calamus caryotoides Calamus caryotoides Calamus caryotoides (also "Palmijuncus caryotoides"), more commonly known as fishtail lawyer cane is a North-East Queensland tropical forest climbing palm with very thin () flexible trunks; no crownshaft; small spikes; dark green, glossy, fish-tail shaped leaves reaching up to high ( spread); and very thin hooked flagella. It tends to clump and grow up into the shaded understory of Queensland's wet tropical forests, and is a close relative of the more infamous "Calamus radicalis" (aka Wait-a-While). The Cairns Botanical Gardens records local Yidinydji, Yirrganyydji, Djabuganydji, and Gungganydji use "Calamus caryotoides" (also known to Yidinydji as Bugul, pronounced BOOK-KOOL)
