Aphid

[Bilbo_baggin]

Spotted this little aphid on a leaf of the apple tree - mostly noticed it because the wing markings seemed quite a bit stronger in the blacks than usual (could just be me though) so thought I would try and see what I could get.

Not as sharp as I would like, using the Siggy 105 & 3 extension tubes, but it was constantly on the go traipsing up and down the leaf, and this was as good as it got.

C&C as always encouraged.
