| | | White micro-spider?
Having got a new macro lens, I went searching for subjects... and found all sorts of things that I couldn't identify. I think the white insect in this photo is a spider but am not sure. If anyone can tell me for sure if is is, and the species, I'd be very grateful. The insect is around 2.5mm long - which makes the (what I presume are) young to its left about 0.2mm long. It was found on wooden fencing behind the platform of a railway station.

I thought I had! This will have to do for the moment, until I figure out what went wrong. I'm very used to dealing with PHPBB and this is just reminding me of why I hate vBulletin!

Don't think it's a spider, it looks more like an aphid. It seems to have relatively long antennae. |

It is apparently most definitely an aphid. The two tubes sticking out at the rear are the give-away. Now to see if I can find out the species...
That means that the other white invertebrates I saw, which were more in the middle of the webs &, now that I look closer have much longer legs, are not the same as these. Unfortunately the shot's not very clear. I'll have to go back & have another go. | | |
