thank you for your comment, ForestDragon. you are correct, there were many aphids. thanks a lot, sintija. ;)

Syrphid larvae are certainly interesting creatures. Many of them are predatory and eat small soft-bodied insects like the aphids I see on the leaf with your larva. I've never seen one this color. Very pretty!

I do not know, bayucca. He has no legs, not moving. But the central throbbed, as if something wanted to leave. Thanks, Gerardo. :)
