Photo: Little Insects En Masse

These little insects are so tiny.

These little yellow bugs were huddled right below the bud of the flower. They were only in this area so that they could stay warm together.

I was taking macro photos of the flower and was so surprised to see these little yellow dots start moving and that is when I used my macro to show they have legs.

    I hope that these tiny dots of a bug provide a nice meal for a bird or lizard before they eat much of the plant.

    Fascinating looking little creatures when you pull them right in Julie. Lovely colour, maybe it's a disguise to make them look like a flower to hide from predators.

    It is amazing what you will find when you look very, very closely.
