Very nice!
It would be even more impressive to most of our visitors if it were cropped to "just the bug." :)

What exactly is it?
First of all, it's very cute; but, there's no explanation, even at family level, what these are and what they are parasites of. It would be interesting for visitors of Bugguide to be able to read something about them, if possible.
