Another Mystery Bug...

[Ryewolf]

Another mystery bug from today.. again no idea what it is, what I hadn't noticed was the greenfly/aphid beneath it's legs..

Not sure what it is exactly. It is definitely a true bug. I would guess a predator of the greenflies too.

Thanks Chris, I spotted another one today, and I've managed to id it: Mirid bug - Calocoris stysi

Well done. Good getting the aphid as well.

Thanks Nick, I hadn't noticed the aphid at the time I was too busy trying to get the focus on the eye of the Mirid Bug... always an added bonus when you get 2 for the price of one.. I have been surprised with just what you can get, no matter the light, when you use a ring flash, think this was f11, 1/200th., iso200

Yes, flash is a great enabler.

Yes, it is, and I've had it for almost 12months before I decided to use try it out
