is it really this white? rather crafty hiding in a white rose and even craftier spotting it and capturing it

I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't been for the Marmalade Fly, the camouflage is perfect.

Nice pic Tigger

The whitest one i have seen they are normally more of that kind of luminous green colour (of objects that can glow in the dark) when i have seen them
