that a parasitic wasp has laid its eggs on his back where he cannot reach them. When the eggs hatch, the larvae will burrow into him and devour him from the inside.

Canon EOS 5D, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM, Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX, hand held. I set the camera on manual, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, f22, center spot exposure, and the flash to ETTL. The flash controls the exposure.

It may be a Twice-Stabbed Lady bird beetle (Chilocoris stigma).

Which Zeiss eyepieces are you using? Are they the 1.25" limited edition Zeiss Abbe ortho astro eyepieces or the later adapted microscope eyepieces?
