From what I can tell they are some sort of parasitic "tick" that prey on insects.... There are several stages of "fullness" to them if you look closely, just like regular ticks. This poor guy has so many of them that I don't at all doubt this may be fatal.. |
Yep, a little Googling and lo, looks like they are parasitic mites of the genus Leptus. I bet that's painful. |
