[Leica] IMG: Extension Tube Venture

[Jim Nichols]

Tired of lugging the 250mm, I slipped an 11mm extension tube on the 135 
this afternoon and walked outside.  There was not a butterfly to be 
seen, but the Buddleia was covered with large bees.  Handicapped by a 
lens-to-subject distance of 2-3 ft., I snapped a few bee photos.

I also noted what appeared to be tiny balls of white lint floating 
around.  When I saw one settle on a leaf, I looked closer, and it 
appeared to have wings.  This puzzled me, so I snapped a few shots, 
hoping to get something useful.  The total size seemed to be about 2mm.

Bee by extension tube:

Possibly a Woolly Aphid, though not sure:
