Hiya Friends

Don't Get Too Close Though

Coz I Got a Case of the Cooties

I think I have had to learn a very hard lesson. Plus, I think it is important to share this lesson with you, so you don't make the same mistake I made. I really do need to be more careful about who I bring home when I go out. The Old Guy has a thing for the cheap ones. My motto has always been the cheaper the better! If one is looking worn out and maybe even a little worse for the wear, the Old Guy is happy to bring her home and give her a chance. You know, give a bit of TLC and see where it goes.Who knows, maybe something beautiful will develop. However, this time my good luck has come to an end...an abrupt end...with cooties!

_{Not everything that looks healthy is as healthy as it looks!!}

See the fine looking web on the leaves, and the wee little tiny dots...

Looks like I will need my Panasonic 30mm Macro lens and push it to the limit for this job.

Those are some tiny buggers!

This is about as good as I can get. To be honest, they look like nasty creatures, and I don't need to see any closer LOL!

Thank you to @dswigle for taking time from her vacation to explain to me that they are spider mites. I must have got them when I brought home my tulips, or was it the paperwhite narcissus? Guess it goes to show, I need to be a bit more selective of whom I bring home.

Thanks for stopping by!
