Great shot. Remarkable clarity.
I feel it is in the wrong country, being green it should not be in a pink flower!

I never thought I would admire a Plant Lice; senelity comes to mind! However, this is a wonderful macro AMISHBOY, congratulations!

Your title helps us look at this with a new eye; and your photo is a beautiful work of art, not something I would have anticipated with an image of plant lice like Marie said. Unexpected and exceptionally well done!
