It is {{convert|0.45|-|0.70|mm}} long, and feeds on cheese, corn, flour, old honeycombs, bird collections, and smoked meats.[2] The surface of cheese which has been colonised by mites may be covered with a fine, grey powder or bloom, due to the mites themselves and their moulted skin and faeces. These impart a distinctive "piquant" taste to various cheeses.[3] See also
