Hawaiian dust mites accompany a twentieth-century novel's dust in Hawaii Five-0 episode He Kohu Puahiohio I Ka Ho'olele Ka Lepo I Luna: Like a Whirlwind, Whirling the Dust Upward Feb. 21, 2020.

Tenth-season, 17th-episode director Karen Gaviola and writers Paul Grellong and Matt Wheeler broach dusty swirls, like those of dust mites, in the series' 235th episode overall. Hawaiian dust mites convey to allergy-prone household members Der f 1-7 and Der p 1-7 allergens as amylase, cysteine and serine proteases, glutathione transferases and tropomyosins. They defecate 0.0007874015748031496-inch (20-micrometer) diameter pellets from 0.017637 to 0.035274-inch (0.5 to 1.0-gram) human and non-wild animal cast-off, dead skin flakes and develop 0.0000000007054792389916001-inch (0.02-microgram) allergens.

Hawaiian dust mites, the same species as European, not North American (Dermatophagoides farinae), dust mites, exhibit 0.005118110236220472-inch (130-micrometer) speeds, somewhat more than human-hair widths, per second.

Hawaiian dust mites favor 31-day egg, active larva, resting larva, active tritonymph (from Greek τρίτο, "third" and νύμφη, "bride"), resting tritonymph and active adult-stage life cycles.

Female Hawaiian dust mites get 70-day life cycles for mating and producing 25 to 50-egg clutches every two to three weeks for 80 to 120-egg totals. Physical and sexual maturity heralds blue-white, exoskeletal, rectangular-shaped hemocoels (from Greek αἷμᾰ, "blood" and κοῖλος, "hollow") with eight hairy, jointed legs and without antennae or eyes. Adult 0.0126-inch (320-micrometer-) wide females and 0.009645669291338583-inch (245-micrometer-) wide males impart respective 0.0138 to 0.0165-inch (350 to 420-micrometer-) and 0.0112 to 0.0165-inch (285 to 420-micrometer) lengths.

Hawaiian dust mites, their excretions and secretions perhaps sometimes jeopardize Eddie's (Eddie Aikau Chipperton) recovery from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the McGarrett (Alex O'Loughlin) residence.

The final, unpublished installment in a series of mystery novels about fictional writer-crime solver Deirdre Naismith seems to be brought to life in Hawaii Five-0's season 10 episode 17; Irish name Deirdre honors Irish Queen Deirdre, who is depicted with blue flowers in her red gold hair (left) in 1917 stained glass Etain, Helen, Maeve and Fand, Golden Deirdre's Tender Hand by Irish stained glass artist and book illustrator Henry Patrick Clarke (March 17, 1889-Jan. 6, 1931): Public Domain, via Wikimedia Commons

Shoreline structures, such as the Carl Bayer and Florence Gurrey Bayer residence in Aina Haina ("land [for human] sacrifice"), perhaps kindle humidity-seeking Hawaiian dust mites.

Hawaiian dust mites, labeled scientifically by Édouard Louis Trouessart (Aug. 25, 1842-June 30, 1927), live in business, governmental, private, public, residential buildings with humid air flows. They migrate to valleys such as Ka'a'awa (also known as Kualoa), Ka'ala, Kahauiki (Kalihi), Kalama, Kuli'ou'ou, Mākaha, Makiki, Mānoa, Moanalua, Niu, Nu'uanu, Pāllo, Pauoa and Wai'alae. Hawaiian dust mites, named scientifically Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus ("skin-eating, "feather-loving"), their excretions and secretions nestle near the Hawaii (H) freeways Interstate H-1, H-2 and H-3 of O'ahu.

Hawaiian dust mites, their excretions and secretions potentially occur even on ridges such as Hawai'i Loa, Kahala Kua, Wai'alae Iki and Wai'alae Nui in Honolulu, O'ahu.

A lamp placed under white DIN-A4 sheets of typewriter paper prove the shadow-cast morning and evening presences of proliferating Hawaiian dust mites, their excretions and secretions.

Hawaiian dust mites, their excretions and secretions queue up in bedding, carpets, clothing, draperies, mattresses and pillows without plastic encasement covers, stuffed animals and upholstered furniture. Protonymph Hawaiian dust mites, as dormant larvae, resist lower relative humidities and temperatures than adult stages, and revive many months later in deep-down, retrieval-resistant, vacuuming-resistant resting places. Hawaiian dust mites survive when indoor relative humidity and indoor temperatures respectively range around 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) and at 70 to 90 percent.

Vacuuming without high-efficiency particulate-absorbing (HEPA) filters turns terminating Hawaiian dust mites as troublesome as Five-0's tracking copycat killings from a century-old, dusty, fabled, unpublished crime tome.
