This tiny ladybird larva had something attached to its head - I assume a parasite of some sort. The larva is just about 4mm long so the orange living thing must be pretty small, lol..

Taken on the Venus 60mm on the 70D.

Nice work Paul
No idea what's on it's head but I am using my phone
 
What a strange tiny thing. That is intriguing Paul. Well done noticing it!

Thank you Nick. Tbh, I barely noticed the actual LB larva - it was rather small and partially obscure on the leaf where I spotted it.
