A Real Treat

Returning to the previous image below , as I thought , the structures associated with the Palps might well be Mites . ( Thanks A Zilla , NH Museum )  I am therefore going to keep an eye out on future imaging , unfortunately , they are at the limit of macro photography  , but can be put under the microscope or x30 Loupe. The following recommended reading in relation to the Mites of Moths & Butterflies has been recommended and there is a review link below  in case anyone is interested
