I noticed some little white spots on the mints in the garage and looked at them under the microscope. Since I was able to find an Aphid on the underside of several leaves, I am assuming that the guy below is just a very immature form. I base this mainly on the similarity with the long antennas that the larger bug shown on the left has. I guess the snow outside has all the bugs trying to find a home in my garage. I will have to look for more creatures today.
The aphid on the top is perhaps 1/2 mm long while the transparent looking guy below is about half that. I wonder how many of these we eat every day?
