| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Photo taken through a windowpane. Better sharpness than my previous upload of an alomost identical subject.
I believe the little parasites to be springtails, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Klaus
Interesting photograph.
That's not a common object of pictures.
As far as I know these parasites are not springtails but mites (Arthropoda -> Chelicerata -> Arachnida -> Acarina).
Thanks for presenting
Ania
Hello Klaus!
very original and unusual macro picture! I believe (I am not sure) that this is some Tipulidae fly but with not springtails as parasite but with larvae of water mites (Hydracarina). These larvae are sometimes easy to find on insects which are "connected" with water habitat. If you like, please feel free to see here, and here, where these creature were found on dragonfly and robber fly :)
Best greetings from Lodz,
Radomir
amazing macro, this looks like a difficult shot to make
Amazing work! Superb macro shot! In my opinion, the most interesting part is the eyes on this one, although some can say the parasites also!
Congratulations!
Ersin
