A microscopic mite, Pyemotes herfsi -- aptly called an "itch mite"-- is responsible for the mysterious, itchy red bites recently reported by a number of Midwest state residents. The microscopic itch mites prey on small fly maggots which cause "leaf edge" galls on pin oak leaves. The galls on pin oak leaves have been unusually abundant in recent years. When the maggots mature, they emerge from the galls, drop to the ground and pupate for the winter. When numbers of the gall gnat larvae decline, either through predation or by evacuation from their galls, the hungry itch mites crawl about on foliage or bail out of the trees into wind currents to find other suitable hosts.

It had been the backbone for Chevrolet's model line for the 55, 56 and 57 model years. The only other car Chevrolet sold then was the Corvette. Ford and Chrysler...
