What is this tiny thing?

Hi,

Asking the help of the experts.

I was fortunate to be able to snap a photo of this Pygmy Seahorse, but after closer inspection I noticed something even smaller. See here:

Thanks everyone.

Chilly, Yes they are commonly called ladybugs. We saw them in Komodo.

Komodo. Haven't seen anything like it. Had me stumped.

Thats it! So they call these things Ladybugs. New things everyday, eh! Imagine that.

And yes, this was in Komodo too. Somewhere near Makassar Reef, I think.

Beers all around. Best fishes to everyone.
