Great shot!, now that I know what it is :wink: I don't think I want to know where you found it :|

Oh, that is a very good capture but it is enough to make us want to scratch. Just to think loads of children have these - horrible - but thanks for enlightening us.

I think this is a 'first' for the macro forum. I learned what a louse looks like, so that's good. So all in all, good show!

This one hasn't hatched yet. They are much ickier once they do. I learned what a louse looks like, so that's good.
