Hi Ving

Wow - these are monstrous in size! The extreme magnification has inevitably given you less DOF than you would like, but where you have it, the detail is exquisite – quite scary actually! Dig those horns on their backs!

Get better soon!

Cheers

Brilliant shot Ving! I see these guys at various times on the roses - but wow this is up close and personal.

I love the colours in this, it's very interesting image.
Their body seems almost translucent.

Great work David.

Nice shot Ving, I recognise that aphid, he was down in Tassie staying on our rose bush, his name's Jeff....
