So I thought these were aphids...what the heck is the difference? Thank heavens I have ladybugs and I just discovered the praying mantis are back. Very cool shot.
your garden is an inexhaustible source of natural subjects! Well seen, Lee and thanks for sharing it so regularly (every early morning, for me !) with us !
Great shot. I recently caught some of these in a photo and I was wondering what the heck they were! They are so small, I didn't even notice them until I looked at the photo on my monitor. Then I had an itchy head, because I was sticking it in the hibiscus with all those things! LOL.
...diese Läuse sind nur bei den Marienkäfern beliebt! Gute Aufnahme!
Wonderful look into a microcosmos. Thanks for sharing.
Stunning,Lee! Such a clear image!
great job for such tiniee tini creatures lee!!!!
outstanding super macro work.. these guys are pretty small and you did a excellent job catching them at work.
Superb macro Lee, I would have classed them as aphids/greenfly as well. I must check out the rose plant, there are some creepy crawlies on there at the momment. Superb work, and very interesting. Bravo!!!!!
Excellent capture. Great details on this macro. Bunny
They look like they would glow in the dark.Also interesting how the color tones of the leaves are nearly the same as the bugs. Wonderful capture.
INTRESTING AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T ON MY HOUSE PLANTS
