lgarrigaDescription
ID as Laboulbenia coccinellidicola based off this random paper I found. Looks like a pretty newly described species so no idea if this is the right thing or not, probably just Hesperomyces, as Laboulbenia seems to infect mostly other beetle groups. Specimen currently stored dry (I have no ethanol) or may preserve in isopropyl. Collected today 12/19/2023 Host is Exochomus childreni @michieldg

Anyone know what the 'things' on the elytra are? They look like dipteran eggs to me.

I suppose it is either the field vole or bank vole; I think reddish brown colour, ear shape and neat short fur indicate the bank vole. About 10cm long. Extremely tame!
