What is This?

I was trying to get a photo of a tiny spider this morning and this ended up in the viewfinder instead. Apparently the spider had gone under the rolled up leaf to the right side of the photo. At first I thought this might be some type of aphid but now I don't know. Does anyone have an idea?

I am guessing the size at 2mm.

This is a form of insect scale. Recently, another macro-photographer posted a very similar image on this forum.

I saw that one but didn't relate the two. Hmmm. Could it be I am getting old? Thanks.

Wow! Your series of photographs leaves me speechless. I can see I have a lot more practicing to do. Of course I also see the scale as well. That helps me understand more about it. Thanks,
