Springtail infected with Fungus

I found this unfortunate Dicyrtomina saundersi globular springtail this morning, infected with fungus. I\'ve seen photographs of the same condition photographed by Edward Nurcombe (Eddie The Bugman) before, but have not seen it myself until today. Not a particularly jolly shot for the festive season I know, but interesting!

 

A seven exposure focus stack at F5.0, (using Zerene Stacker).
