Arrhenodes minutus , U, Side, Upper Marlboro_2013-07-05-151506 ZS PMax_9236572058_o Oak Timberworm, Arrhenodes minutus, and an interesting mite on its mid femur, found at my moth attracted to the area due to the fresh red oak I am adding to the wood pile. Note the odd mite appears to be glued to the femur, it was still alive when the picture was taken, but apparently could not leave its host. Arrhenodes minutus , U, Side, Upper ZS PMax
