On the edge...

Here is an aphid, yes they are back with a vengeance in the garden...


This aphid is on the Lily of the Valley which are starting to flower nicely, and is on a short excursion across the precipice that is the tenuous edge of the leaf...


I have some others which are not as dynamic as this - I think the angles work, and the stark contrast in colours and the positioning of just the leading edge of the aphid all combine to give it a different look to what you normally get of the greenfly!

C&C as always appreciated.
