isn't this a cockroach, but it doesn't matter anymore, it think i have found a close match, but thats only a guess. there are many hundred of cordyceps-species out there. take a look at your fav. sites for : " cordyceps tuberculata" ( http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&cp... ) mostly whit white fruitingbodies, maybe yours was at the begin from their fruiting-phase. good luck
i will give it a look, (just now i must make dinner ready and will be back in somewhat a hour) , i have almost no insects, but i will know, what this insect is? no hurry, i come back later !!!
it seems very likely to be a cordyceps or carefully said "parasitic fungi" will try to narrow it in, let you know, when i stumple over some good references, have you seen this often, is it always just a little white (suspected) "fruiting-body" or get it still bigger.??

Hi Alex, I know is verry hard to make a species identification with fungi, it fine with the confirmation of the genus, Thanks!
