Bug

Gemma

This little insect was minute - I thought it was a speck of dust on a leaf when I first saw it.

Does anybody know what it is, please?

Hi Gemma, it's an Aphid and that's an excellent shot of it too. Lovely perspective in this one.

Lovely shot - yup an aphid

Thank you both very much.

It's a smaller aphid than the green ones that eat our roses and I didn't realise aphids could also be black.

Very nice shot!

Yep - colours well controlled. A blackfly as we call them here! (As opposed to a greenfly)...
