Otiocerus Nymph - Otiocerus wolfii
Hopkins Gap, Little North Mountain, Rockingham County, Virginia, USA
August 13, 2010
Size: ~6 mm
I found this odd nymph in decaying wood on the top side of a wind-blown tree. Based on the facial structure, especially the antennae, and overall color, and proximity, I am wondering if it is related to this individual found about 2 feet away on the same log at the same time.

It looks odd
I wonder if it is fungus infested. At least when I see an insect that looks that swollen it turns out to be a victim of fungus. Was it moving?

similar nymph
Yes, Derbidae are related to Achilidae. For more information, contact me at: hamiltona AT agr.gc.ca

Great photos, and a valuable addition to our knowledge of Derbidae!

Yes
It was very active, crawling all over that piece of bark. And I agree... it looks very odd, I just don't know if it's a normal odd, or an... uh... odd odd.
