Well, after finding a fungus infected moth last week, today I find a caterpillar that suffered the same fate. As usual, it was on the underside of a leaf. Not as far along as the moth, but still & seems some really tiny bees (/) were drawn to it...

Yuck... grimace... grimace.
I'm squeamish too, but it really is a nice shot. Well done.

Those tiny bees are really cool, I have seen them and actually gotten a few shots of them but never any that I was really happy with... It is amazing what you see when shooting macro that you would have never seen had you not taken up the hobby.
