Chances are you have never heard of a gall midge or a book louse. But odds are also good, at least if you live on the mid-Atlantic seaboard, that they know about you. That’s because you’re roommates. Nearly 100% of 50 houses surveyed in and around Raleigh, North Carolina, contained these insects.
That was the surprising conclusion of a new study by entomologists at North Carolina State University -- including Sci Am guest blogger Rob Dunn -- that aimed to document the insects, spiders, and other arthropods of a random sample of homes.
The scientists sought to probe a largely uninvestigated yet very personal frontier: the tiny animals that dwell with us. Although scientists have intensively studied pests, almost nothing has been done to survey everyone else -- and everyone else turns out to be the silent majority. Unnoticed and overlooked by humans, we don’t know if these other animals are helping, hurting, or having no impact whatsoever on us, nor do we even know who they are and how many of them there are.
