HA" HA" got ya' Doctor!!-- bet you thought I was delusional from the headlineI was sitting under my infrared I felt this thing running down my leg I reached down and smashed it I wasn't going to look at it under the scope then I shrugged my shoulder's and thought what the heck and and did and I'm glad I did This one is mangled adult and a perfect specimen of a baby the fact that the baby is in the adults thorax cavity might suggest that they give birth to live young but then again I have found egg things that I have pictures of in this gallery I think it resembles a termite if it is the case that is is in some way related to a termite then it's possible that it is a social bug like an ant I have often thought that my critters were more like a colony then just a bunch of separate bugs running around I have felt like they were of one mind take a gander for yourself and tell me what you think yup this is what is getting me click on thumbs to enlarge the photos of termite_like series www.trillybillers.zoomshare.com/1.shtml

Those are creepy, I'd freak if I had a microscope.

Hi Ant,
Unbelievable photos. Great work--I think everyone who has looked is afraid they may have same.
Have you seen microscope photos of Collembola? Just wondering if there is similarity. I thought my problem is Strongyloide nematodes, now wondering if that plus this critter.
Thanks, Spunky

Hi host , spunky' there these are the first definitive photo's I have been able to get in four years and yes after seeing whats on me when I get in full blown crawl mode I get totally icked out when ever I think about it" but you know I'm in much better shape that I was before I think I am catching up with the shear numbers and wearing them down thanks to my friends on this board (knock on wood) Ether that or they are changing the program on me in that case I'll have to say oh' no" not again!!!! Ps theres a picture of a collumboa in my gallery it was the first picture that I took when I first got my microscope there are lots of them around here I dont think these most recent pictures are collumbola I have emailed them to a entomoligest we will see what he says
