Not yet. Currently it is the calibration gnat that was first to land in my red/yellow pan trap. Southern Norway, mid march, right after snow melt.
I'll hopefully have a full picture soon, and when it is off calibration duty, I'll try to record any relevant features that are not visible in the panorama. Checking the other side of the slide should be easy enough without manipulation.
What would be candidates? My first thoughts were a collapsed ocellus or a small mite, but I wouldn't expect them in this location.

@relet@flipping.rocks Full-body picture would help a lot with identification, and also any size reference. Seems too close to the compound eye to be a median ocellus. Might be a developmental defect of the compound eye or something. Doesn't look like a base of a lost seta either...
