an ectoparasit?
Cesa
Hello,
During our field trip, we found and an Apidae (Anthophora?) together with two wingless insects (each about 3mm length) adherent between abdominal tergites. Unfortunately, attached images not sharp and large enough. We need information about such biological activities known by someone. May it be a phoresie a kind of transportation as in the case of Pseudoscorpionida; or, ectoparasitismus? It is also hard to decide whether this insect adult or larva. Wingless, with developed antenna; mouth parts looks like sucking type. Any comment will be very much appreciated. Muhabbet
