Poor man's macro: Aphid and jumper

jax

Here's a few more shots I took in my garden yesterday.

Saw this little bugger taking a rest on a plant which is getting more and more infested with aphids. I suspect this is a woolly aphid as well. A woolly aphid after it has been sheared :-)



Turns out I have another big jumper living on the other side of the garden. Caught her eating a fly again, but by the time I came back to take a picture I was only just in time to see her finish up and drop the empty shell.. Ah well.. she then went for a game of hide and seek before I could snap a few shots .. :-)



Have a good weekend everyone!

Maybe you should introduce the Jumping Spider to the Aphids
Both are great shots .... Skippy
