Fascinating picture; parasites are a nuisance but they have to live too.

Great shot indeed thomas. I always look forward to your shots cause they are all so original and things that we rarely see. Interest for the underworld is increasing with every shot you post here.

I enjoyed the picture. The world is full of parasites. We just don’t always recognize them as such.
