| Too pretty for an aggressive weed. |
My camera doesn't handle these bright whites as well as Laurie's does, so I decided to zoom into the shadowed throat of a flower, instead. And I'd forgotten my glasses in the car, so in the glaring sunlight, I could barely see the LCD screen; any macro photography would be sheer guesswork.

So I didn't notice these until I got home and loaded the photos onto the computer:

Red mites! I've never seen more than one at a time, before. |
I'll be looking down the throat of every bindweed I see from now on.
yikes!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I love it when I find something interesting that I missed when taking the photograph.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a surprise to find this pretty but invasive bloom is being bugged by a host of visitors. :)
ReplyDeleteHee. Today I took a picture and posted it, also only seeing the bug on the flower once it was on my computer. It's so fun!
ReplyDeleteAren't mites the most amazing shade of red?
