Entomopathogen on an ant. Such an amazing find in an urban park.

This ant was found inside of a woody gall on a bud oak stem, produced by the wasp Disholcaspis quercusmamma. The ant must have climbed into the empty gall and then succumbed to the fungus.

I’m wondering if this fungus is also somehow involved in the gall/wasp relationship?

The dark base of the peridium seems to be a feature that separates this species from Lamproderma 'mossy', a similar but smaller species that occurs on the same bryophyte-covered logs and stumps.

The cicada has just emerged from its shell. There is a strange black mark that a small larvae exits and crawls down its leg.

Edit: I say the larvae emerged because the larvae seemed to appear right next to a hole with black fluid, then start making its way down the cicada's leg to the tree. It is possible that the larvae just crawled onto the cicada and started eating it, but I thought that was less likely than the larvae exiting the cicada and leaving a hole. The latter might be more likely.
