Capsids on apple tree

Paul Iddon

As is the case most summers, my apple tree in the garden gets quite a few capsid bugs making it their home.

There were several on the small branch I was taking photos of, and I have got 3 reasonable images, but to be honest, it's not possible to tell how many different ones there are though by looking for the raindrops on their bodies, I think I may have got all three different capsids individually.

Very dull and wet conditions, the drizzle kept coming and going, and had to illuminate with the ringflash, as you will notice from the lighting rings in the droplets of rain water on the bugs. Could clone that out if I wanted too, but for now, I have left it in.

Anyhow, here they are for your perusal.

C&C as always.

HI Phil.

They won't be a new sub-species that's for sure, lol...

Maybe they are just young ones?
