This spider is so cute. I was trying to improve my lighting/exposure.

I don't know what the little headlights are for.

Image #5 is of green aphids, not greenflies. Wingless females give birth to female clones, which is why you see five mature female aphids, and a brood of immature females.

The Moth (#4) looks fine. The Mantis (#3) is the one that's ever so slightly hot. All great shots none the less :wink: :thumbup:

It looks to me like the Aphids are #5. It also appears that if Brenda have observed for a little while, she may have caught one of the little ones popping out of one of the larger ones. :wink:

Thank you all for the helpful comments. I will return to the Green Aphids today and watch for longer as Bill suggests. I was surprised to see them in October. Also yesterday I found this Shield bug instar which I thought was a bit late in the Season - perhaps our hot Autumn is affecting things, certainly there are less birds around than normal.Image #5 is of green aphids, not greenflies.
