Non-standard insects!

Mushrooms...

What happened to this butterfly?

The picture was taken in April last year in Slovenia, Kamnik Alps.

There are many types of fungi that parasitize butterflies, and each species parasitizes a specific type of butterfly...in the tropics, there are even more such mushrooms(of course, there are a lot of butterflies there)
In short, if there are too many butterflies of one species, then they are eaten by mushrooms.

Ah!! I just noticed it by accident, looking at photos taken from different sites

It's a Cheshire cat. Separate from your smile.

Then there must be a bug in looking glass?

If you turn the picture over, the smile becomes more naive, and the grin becomes moronic

Ah!! I just noticed it by accident, looking at photos taken from different sites

And I noticed the humanoid faces, too
to the article the last one I have in the collection (from Cryptorhynchinae)

Or is this one with a trunk bigger than itself from the Brentidae family

here I found such a "non-standard" insect on a well-known site

In the photo I see a habitus ant Dendrolasius fuliginosus or Camponotus
And the insect under it is most likely from the Polyneoptera group Rhynchota, although it extremely resembles something akin to termites)) or whose larva

This is an aphid, genus Stomaphis.

"I found such a" non-standard "insect on a well-known site"

That's right, it's an aphid of the genus Stomaphis. It belongs to the family Lachnnidae. They live on the trunks of oak, maple, birch, alder, willow, poplar (various species, I wonder what these aphids are found on in the photo, judging by the bark, birch?). The genus is quite ancient, even relict, they are not often found.
It is difficult to say whether the photo is an older larva or an adult parthenogenetic female (and given September, it is also possible to lay eggs).
