Re: mites.

I don't know much about mites, but it does happen in nature that organisms choose a species depending on what is available and where they themselves have come from. If garters have proven to be good hosts, why gamble and try a king? It could also be something about garters that make them extra easy.

But I doubt they would be unable to infect another species if necessary.
