Sminthurus viridis on a Thistle thorn, I decided to scrutinise a Thistle on my walk today and noticed this little one posing for me on this thorn. How could I resist, it was staring me in the face saying photograph me LOL :o)
I'm sure Sminthurus viridis has got it in for me, I've had to photograph them on a cowpat, on a bit of wood on damp moss and now lying face down in a bed of thistles and yes they drew blood, ahhhh the dedication or is it a form of madness LOL :o)
This little one was about 1mm, I took it at about 5.4x magnification and this is cropped, fortunately there was lots of thistle in the immediate background, hence no fall off :0)
Wonderful change in the weather today, from cold and grey to sunny and warm :o)
