mites
I have had mites in my cultures. They are cream colored, kind of an off white. The shape is somewhat round with small irregularities. They are usually much more prevalent in older cultures but sometimes they're easier to spot in younger cultures since there's not so much crud on the side of the walls. I find that for the most part, I've just learned to deal with mites. They reduce production. They sometimes completely destroy the odd culture. But I have not been able to eradicate and my cultures produce very well and I simply try to seed new cultures with young, newly hatched flies.
Good luck!@
