Seek confirmation or correction that this Leaf-footed bug is Leptoglossus sp? Any thoughts as to the nature of the "eggs" on the top of the head?

the eggs on top of the head are from a tachinid fly
see http://bugguide.net/node/view/379399

And there are some little mites or something running around as well, one on the bug's antenna

those running around look like young aphids or coccids

Eggs
Lew, wonder if the "eggs" are somehow related to the mites. In other words, I don't know. As for the leaffooted bug, that would be Leptoglossus oppositus

Robert, I thought about mites
Robert, I thought about mites but like you, I am not sure. Thanks for the ID and hope all is going well down in Mobile. Always enjoy your shots!
