Camouflaged...

Red Aphids were living on the red stems of the Heliopsis in the garden. Apparently, this is an example of otherwise green aphids having synthesized red carontenoids. Carotenoids may absorb solar energy and convert it to ATP. I went back to this plant a few days later and there were lots of ladybugs having a feast. The next day there weren't any more aphids.
