"Aphids"
by paullucas
I had a free moment earlier today so popped out to the garden.
Saw this lot climbing up, and down, a stem. Had to get really low down for this.
Lens: Sigma 105mm EX

Personally I don't like them either but we keep them for two reasons:
1. my wife and I are trying to maintain an organic garden and therefore don't squirt them with anything
2. I like photographing them
I was amazed to see how many different colours there were.
Thanks for your comments
