And this is a drone honeybee that died after mating with the queen that must have come through with the swarm that just took up residence in our house :P

Thanks everyone Look for aphids on anything you DON'T want them on :P Fruit trees, strawberry plants, some flowers. I found these on my apple tree. They seem to like fruiting plants from what I've seen..... and the ants like to farm them there. I had large black ants farming aphids on my strawberry plants years ago. You have to look.... from a distance it just kinds looks like the stem.... since they are packed so tightly.

It is indeed amazing and I never noticed the aphids before I started doing macro. Many things I was not aware of actually...
