Excellent comp and subject detail, John. So what is sprinkled all over the beetle? I thought at first it was frost, but, based on your comment, maybe you took this indoors?

I'm thinking some sort of fungus.

Interesting, it sure looks like frost and the water drop does say that this beetle has been wet recently. But, you're right that frost would melt in minutes (or faster) at normal room temperature. The details in the head area are great.
