This tiny spittlebug (2.8 mm) has a mite clinging to one of its legs. The mite is only 0.6 mm long. Mites that attach themselves to other organisms can be either parasitic or phoretic, which means they are just using the host as a means of getting around. This one has been identified as belonging to the Cohort Parasitengona and thus, as the name implies, it is parasitic.
