    Sorry!!! What I intended didn't work out as I haven't a clue and sometimes I might get it right. There must be a way but unknown to me.   :(

    I’ve zoomed in on the photo...

    Granted it doesn’t add any more information, but might help those that were struggling to zoom-in using their browser.

    :)  That's more like it!  What I had been unable to achieve.

    Remarkably difficult to sketch due to their size.

    I used a 60x jewellers magnifying glass but struggled to find a bug I hadn't accidentally squashed for a "topside" sketch... so all I have is this "underside" sketch.

    Most notably:
    - 0.4mm in size
    - Black
    - 6 Legs
    - Long Antenna
    - Some fine hairs.



    I've looked at pictures of aphids here, but non of them have fine hairs -- all hairless.

    So I'm not even sure if it's an aphid anymore?
