Awesome macro! Is the a feast of Aphids for him? #1391506Susan K. Snow July 08, 2011
It is an awesome macro. But, aphids don't look like that. It looks to me to be the offspring.Michelle Alton July 09, 2011
So that was my question too: Aphids or Offspring? I'm going with aphids 'cuz I just learned that aphids come in many varieties...and I truly doubt that a mama beetle sticks around to raise the young Very thought provoking capture. #9517630Kay E. Mahoney July 09, 2011
Nice capture, Mike. Love the close up. #9518757Michael Umbreit July 09, 2011
Thanks! I wish I knew the answers to the questions. At first glance I thought they were probably offspring but after studying them a little more I am not sure what they are. I do know that that I found some this morning that completely covering the bottom of some of the leaves of a certain plant. There must have been thousands of them. :-) #9519177Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
