Headlice!

Well, yes. Sorry. Here for your... delectation... is a picture of a headlouse from Daniel 21/08/2000:

It about 1-2 mm long. For comparison, a reference picture from http://www.headlice.org/faq/photos.html:

Daniels looks like a nymph to me. Whilst the pictures are a bit yukky, its quite a tribute to the close-up qualities of the nikon 950 that it can take this piccy of something that is pretty hard to see with the naked eye no matter how hard you peer...

Well... that was fun, wasn't it? Want to know more about headlice? Try:
