Entomopathogenic fungi

November 2008. Photographs of a fungus or fungi sporulating on an insect found on a banana leaf in St Lucia.

It is difficult to say what it is from the photos, but Metarhizium is a possibility; this is white at first turning green later, or Beauveria, which is always white or pearl, depending on the age. It is always possible that both are present.
