Double the Bad Luck - _TNY_2842
Parasitizing mites are a scourge for many insects - but this long-legged fly in the Chrysotus genus has more problems than most. With it being quite small (this is shot at 3.7:1 magnification), a mite is comparably very large - and this one has got two of them!
It was behaving quite sluggish and I would assume it didn't make it far after I took the shot.
