It's a bit warm for woolly coats

Day four of 30 days wild

I spotted this tiny bit of white fluff in the garden today and when it landed I realised it was an insect. I've never seen anything like it before so did a bit of googling and found it's a woolly aphid. Seems like it's a bit of a pest as they can do a lot of damage to fruit trees. I think it might have come from the apple tree in the garden behind ours, we don't have any fruit trees so I hope it was just passing by.

It was a very warm day today, feels like summer!
Wow, this is amazing what a great find. I could do with a coat like this here today.
