User's notes
These images show the insects feeding on the fungus on the day after the recent rain, as reported in sighting 4208561. The largest of these insects was 2 mm in length. Image 2 shows the fungus and image 3 shows the insects feeding on its top surface. The remaining images are of the insects feeding on the underside of the fungus. A few depth of field issues here when it came to photographing at this small scale.
