A bug on a thistle

Actually I wanted to photograph the thistle, but once I got closer, I recognized the little bug sitting there. Does anyone know, what kind of "ulcer" he has on his head? Is it some kind of a fungus infection?

Also I tried a little different post processing. Any CC welcome.

Great shot of this little guy Pascal !! I don't know about the growth but could it be a mite perhaps?? Like a parasite?

Thanks Sandra :)
That could be the case, though I'm not a biologist by any means :D

Great shot! I like the colors, the green and purple really work well together. Not sure what that is on it's head either.

fine shot ... cannot remember how many times i’ve been too occupied getting a shot “just right” that i overlook small critters, literally right in front of my nose (or lens)
