Hi all,
With, not
really that many
'big' inverts around as yet, since December I've been focusing on aphids which have been active even with snow down! I thought you may be interested/able to help...

Skin Shedding Up until now I'd always assumed these skins were 'whitefly' or something, but dead or sucked dry by ladybirds, etc. Since this photo I now recognise them to be aphid's shedded skins! 22/2/09
Which one? Try as I might, I just can't name this yellow-black aphid... anyone else? 21/2/09
Aphidius colemanii? I discovered him yesterday... 13/2/09
Oat aphid or parasitised? It looks bloated...
All found in my garden. Quite interesting to observe, even tough they can be 'pests'.
Thanks for reading!
I think I'll apologise in advance for quality in places...
need to upgrade
Take care,
Jason
