Talk:Chigger (arthropod)

Untitled
This is just a disambig page now; most content is now at the article harvest mite. &mdash; Stevey7788 (talk) 06:23, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Now that the content is at harvest mite and chigoe flea, I don't understand why there are two disambig pages. why not jsut move this page back to chigger and merge it with that to look like:

A Chigger can refer to a number of things:


 * Either of two parasitic arthropods with similar behaviors:
 * the chigoe flea (Tunga penetrans)
 * the larva of the harvest mite (Trombicula alfreddugesi).


 * The name originated as a corruption of chigoe, but the harvest mite is what is most commonly called a chigger in North America, due to its similar behavior.


 * A slang term


 * What do you think? This page has the page history, chigger is now just a recently created disambig. - Taxman Talk 16:04, August 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * It was pretty annoying to type chigger and have to go thru two disambiguation pages to get to the info. Consolidate the pages, please. NickelShoe 06:16, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
