Cordyceps sp., La Isla Escondida, Colombia
Another example of a cordyceps fungus parasiting on an insect. In this case the victim is strongly decomposed but I believe it was a sizable caterpillar. The cordyceps species has a thin stem ending in a clear light yellow fuzzy bulb.
I haven't been able to match it to an exact species yet, despite checking a few hundred observations and posting it in a Cordyceps group a few days ago.
