I took this photo in the summer. No aphids right now thankfully.

More about aphids.

    Typical of me to ask what type of lens, and camera you are using. Instead of commenting first on the really interesting photo that you have published.

    The photo is compelling in the detail, I love the little aphids, nasty that they are.

    What type of lens did you use?

    :( :( :( :( :(

    This is what my overwintering brugmansia looked like last week… aphids must have been on it when I brought it in last fall, cuz they hatched and exploded all over it.. I soaped it down good and have moved it to a different room away from my other plants, I hope not to see them come back.

    Wow. I’m alternately fascinated and creeped out. My skin keeps crawling. I want to wash the leaf with a firehose.
