Yellow Cactus flower with Leaf Foot nymphs

Yellow Cactus flower with Leaf Foot nymphs
These little horrors "farm" the Cacti and suck the life out of them to almost... but not quite... death. They leave enough for it to grow the next year !

EXPLORED !

Beautiful light and colour on the top flower. Can't help thinking many forms of life use the same technique to survive, including us. At least they have the wit to leave enough for the cactus to keep growing.

A beautifully taken macro, Pam. Great detail and colour, and a thought-provoking note on the logic used by the insects.
