Aphids

Some Aphids shot 1-1 on a micro 4/3 sensor. First 2 are the full pics second are crops of the first 2 rotated to try and make more interesting compositions. I think I actually caught a birth. Any CC is always welcome!

They are great! As far as I know, aphids are born pregnant and give live birth.

I'm only missing the ants, shepherd them. Or a ladybug eating them... ;)

Thanks! From the little bit I've read about them most are born live, but in the fall they lay eggs and sit dormant for the winter and hatch in the spring.

I saw a few ants, but didn't notice any shepherding. Was looking for
ladybugs or ladybug nymphs, but couldn't find any. I would love to get a good pic of a cute little ladybug doing something not so cute. Not that I want to see my subjects being eaten, but they are getting out of hand and Ladybugs gotta eat too.

And at the end, it's the circle of life.

They are pretty )

Thanks!
