Bugs

A few bugs around in all the luscious greenery at Cullaloe



These four are a set swept from grass and path verges:
Grypocorus stysi
Leptopterna dolabrata
Leptopterna ferrugata
Plagiognathus chrysanthemi

Despite the apparent hugeness in the photos the Plagiognathus is actually half the size of the others
