Citrus snack time. These Ghost ants were doing something I've never seen before. This unknown citrus tree has several leaf buds just starting to elongate and they were clustering around these elongated bud tips. I don't know if they were actively chewing or just collecting phloem at damaged areas.

You never said anything about it being in focus....
Sorry, I had too. I'm glad these things drive other people crazy too. Folks just got to know I can't put a species name of most braconids from photos alone. Especially blurry phone photos...
A beetle mite with its own pet mite riding on its back. This thing is miniscule. I think I took this at nearly 4.5x. There were a few of these in the soil near one of the pill louse I just posted.

Two other individuals I believe all of the same species. They are both rolly pollied... I love the second image that shows how perfectly the roll up.
