I have one lily plant, it grows wild on the edge of the woods on the east side of the yard. It gets very little sun a produces the deepest red/orange blooms every year. This year I went out to shoot and the flowers were covered in these little green bugs. They were pretty and not too camera shy.

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Contests on who could last longer without our vice…you and your cigarettes or us and our candy. That first taste of candy after a week or so always tasted so good.
A very nice macro!
Great details as always Micki. I love the color. Were the bugs doing damage to the plant?
I was about to make the same comment as terrorkitten : we musta been drinking the same insecticide. Sure looks a cute bug but what damage will he do, I wonder?
I've seen so many macro shots on the web today, yours is another great example. You have inspired me to try some macro shots.
cool shot-nice composition...i like the color contrast bt green bug and purple flower...lovely macro shot:-))
Great shot, love the detail on the little fella.
That second photo is great Micki. He/she looks like a type of miniture grasshopper. I'm sure they love those flowers. Great catch.
Ack! Aphid?! Great capture.
It looks like he is looking over his shoulder at you!
I like the upper picture more, there is a better composition. The lower photo is cropped to hard for me. :-)
This reminds me of the Bug's Life. :)
Cool shots. I love the colors here.

It is cute for a bug. =)
I love bugs ... except when they are crawling on my neck! Can't see 'em, don't like 'em! :-) So, I like this critter. Good capture, Micki.
Tried to post several times today, but Blogger was behaving badly!
Great colors and a lovely macro!
Great photos Micki. One day will drag you kicking and screaming into the digital world. jk ;-)
How interesting this bug looks enlarged with his BIG BUG eyes and pollen covering his legs! I love the
the insect photos that do not end up in your fridge! What can I say I am naturegirl!! You and I were in a "buggy mood" with our posts...
p.s. what a different shade of lily such a deep purple!
Excellent macro shot !
Weird looking bug...never seen one like that before. Well captured!
Love the 2nd one, has a better dynamic range.
