fancy green aphids

It's a great interest for me too - I'm still reasonably new to the US & there are just so many critters I am unfamiliar with & this is the perfect way for me to learn about & appreciate all the wonderful wildlife big & small around here! I've always loved bugs & spiders but have had a bit of a phobia about flies & this has also provided a pretty much overnight cure for that too!

Me too! Sounds like a good time to buy Nikon stock! :)

I agree Karen. I have been taking pics of odd things for years, but never had an outlet like this. So my drive to take those photos waned. Now that I have a group to share them with, my drive is back, and I am back to noticing the things that people normally never see. I am going to end up needing a few new lenses soon as well, so I can start getting those super close almost micro macro shots! :-D

Isn't it cool how project noah has us looking at things in a totally different way. Before I would have seen aphids, stink bugs etc & thought 'oh no' (or some more colorful expletive!) - now I am extatic & run for my camera! :)

I wonder what they would look like if you hit them with a blacklight. ;-) Excellent detail!!!!

cool!
