Very strange! Found today on light. Mid Netherlands. Multiple specimens. All with small red dots on the head. Mites? Anyone have any idea what this is/are? Gr Dick blaauw7 attached the following image:  [288.29Kb] |

Yes, mites. Water mites , probably parasitic preadult stage. WWW.ntu.edu/museum has a good article on "water mites and midges" A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |
