Hi Jim,
Isn't that the viscous little poisonous "cetcimoth" of lower Slobovia? 
Reported to have wiped out the tribes of "Upper Slavonia" in one season??????
If one knows the critter has taken your blood? The only thing to do to save 
your life???? READY????
HAVE 6 GLASSFULS OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE SINGLE MALT SCOTCH YOU CAN! LIE DOWN 
AND WAIT TO RECOVER AND LIVE ANOTHER DAY!!  :-) And if you do?
THE LUG CREW WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW! :-) :-) 
I thought you'd like the life recovery method!  :-)
Your welcome!
cheers,
Dr.Ted  O.C.  :-)

Tired of lugging the 250mm, I slipped an 11mm extension tube on the 135 
this afternoon and walked outside.  There was not a butterfly to be 
seen, but the Buddleia was covered with large bees.  Handicapped by a 
lens-to-subject distance of 2-3 ft., I snapped a few bee photos.

I also noted what appeared to be tiny balls of white lint floating 
around.  When I saw one settle on a leaf, I looked closer, and it 
appeared to have wings.  This puzzled me, so I snapped a few shots, 
hoping to get something useful.  The total size seemed to be about 2mm.

Bee by extension tube:

Possibly a Woolly Aphid, though not sure:

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
