Fly Death Fungi (Complex Entomophthora muscae)Observer
brettjacksonDescription
I've wanted to find this one for a while. I doubt much can be gleaned from my amateur microscopy, but I believe I found a condiophore and some hyphal bodies. The fungus has spread throughout the entire body, even emerging from the face between the antennae. It also seems that the fungus has "sewn" the body to the leaf with strands of hyphae, as shown in picture 9.

Not sure what this is, but it appeared to be fungal and growing out of the grasshopper's head, so I picked Cordyceps to hopefully attract a "zombie fungus" specialist. The host (?) was alive, and crawling/lurching across the ground... not hopping.

jakes26Description
Not great photos of abaxial leaf surfaces, but erect/ ascending hairs can be seen on undersides of leaf in the 2nd photo. Far right individual is better example when zoomed in.
