| |
| It is named after [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=416405 NCBI taxa #416405] - the red palm mite. The red palm mite is invasive in the Americas. Entomologist Ronald Ochoa said of the arrival of the red palm mite: "this invasion represents the biggest mite explosion ever observed in the Americas". This imagery of devious little mites hiding in the fronds of a palm tree being shipped across the world inspired the name "darkfrond".
