tiny white riders - Female
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
May 31, 2006
Size: 0.22 mm
I darkened this image to try for a little more detail in these little white things, which are overexposed at proper exposure for the beetle.

The one on the left appears to have thread-like antennae in this view.
