A little double upload of this little insect. I remember looking down at a grass seed stalk in sunlight and seeing something red. Thinking a cool red "hair" growing out of grass seed would make a cool photo, down I went and only discovered the red "hair" was antennae coming off this incredibly small insect which I could only see through my macro lens. I have no clue on an ID.

The first is a close up of the guy, the latter set against a bokeh-bow (hehe).

Taken at Lox NWR, Cypress Boardwalk.
