Found this little one (2-3mm) struggling along with an Acari of some sort attached. When viewed on the computer it seems to have Laboulbs on it also, if that wasn't bad enough it was a cold damp day and a large hairy man was sticking a camera in its face and using a flash....my idea of a rubbish day.
Any idea which genus/species is having a bad day?

Indeed also Laboulbeniales. Walter Rossi would probably have loved to study this specimen!

Not enough to go on here, apart from to say it's a "Limosininae": yup, we're all having a shitty day...
