I then stand corrected. Those are not crab-like. Still an ugly scene
if you're a bee.
I'll be itching for a week, between seeing this and the heavy flea
season in my area. Oh yes, the bed bugs that we can't see that munch
on us in the night.

True but the mite pic doesn't show Varroa destructor - if you do a
google image search you will find Varroa looks more like a crab with
the body in the shape of a sideways oval:

are delicious... used to snorkel for them in the early 80s when I was
still a kid and they were easy to find. That is no longer the case.

I'm no expert, but I disagree. The behind of these creatures match
the
capped look of your photo of the mite, and the forest of legs
sticking up
match the coloration of the mite legs in your photo as well. Diving
in
posture. 24" full screen get really ugly.

All the googled pics of Varroa indicate this isn't Varroa. Got on of

Tough one.
Adult Varroa mites are much bigger in proportion - unless this is
Beezilla's cousin...
If you want my vote, it is NO
Great image nonetheless!

A bee unter attack from ugly parasites. Is this Varroa
destructor which kills our honey bee's. Maybe the wisdom of
the list can give the answer.

That's a superb shot - horrible subject matter though.

There is no off position to the genius switch.
Genius can, however, be observed as insanity.
