Pascal Schindler's picture

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.

Thanks Troy :)

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)
