I was just thinking of you and how this time of year over here is perfect for you. The critters are so thick they can cause accidents while you drive… LOL
Lol! Only last year I heard on the radio that folk had noticed how few bugs were being squished on their windshields, perhaps an indication in reduction of species due to our behaviour and treatment of the world. But this year I certainly have seen more bugs, maybe due to the mild weather.
Yes, another great macro or close-up (as Sandy commented). You certainly do have a skill for photographing insects and an eye for backgrounds and foregrounds (and DOF) to set them off 🙂

Had to look this up. A species of aphid, apparently.
Nice capture.

Thank you very much! It is about the same size of an aphid so I could not see the detail without the aid of the camera.
