Summary: Akanthomyces sp.

I believe this is an Akanthomyces species. They are Cordyceps anamorphs, and there are a couple of species that occur on Lepidoptera (adults and larvae). They tend to be pale and a bit lovely.

Summary: Cordyceps or Isaria

This is the anamorph of a Cordyceps, formally assigned to the genus Isaria. (Perhaps Isaria sinclairii ?)
Fantastic picture!
