Aphids! That’s what these cute little critters are! They gots wings and they gots cute!

Jeremiah Fargo sends in this beautifully-composed flower picture avec aphids.

It’s Ladybugs vs. Aphids Week: The ladybugs may be wooting it up Spring Break style, but the aphids don’t seem worried.

Thanks, Jer!

    Go Ladies! Booo aphids! Sorry, I’m a bit biased, since I’ve been trying to keep the damned aphids from sucking my garden dry

    Ah, they’re cute.

    Reminds me of that crazy guy in A Scanner Darkly who thought he and his dog were infested by aphids.

    I swear the one on the right looks like it’s kind of raising its arms up, defying the ladybugs to bring it on.
