If I'm right about the species the spots at the top-front under the dorsal cover are ok but not the other larger ones http://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2013/02...
As you agree I am adding to your fungal infested arthropods mission.

I agree, Mark, it looks like a fungal infestation, not only in the body side, but also in the right wing and under the dorsal cover.
