As a “close-up” this is really up close! Have you tried the Botany Photo of the Day site? It’s an excellent site and they would appreciate your photos beyond my simple observation. What “family” dynamics this shows. Thanks!

Absolutely amazing! My dad was a farm advisor for many years, and I remember him discussing aphids & crop damage. Never had such a closeup look at them until today! Thanks.

Really good Macro. Nice color combination.

Nice! A slightly larger DOF would have made this picture 100% perfect imho.
