Aphi*d?
Copyright © 2007 Jim McClarin

Aphi*d?
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
August 30, 2007
Size: about 1 mm
Came to mercury vapor (MV) lights. I didn't measure (but I have the specimen). It was smaller that my immediately prior post. I don't see the "tailpipes" I normally associate with a*phids. (Asterisks hide these terms from search engines so this image won't be displayed in search results for these words.)

Apparently, the tail pipes are optional.
Someone, I think Chuck, told me that and it's held up. And I do think it's one of those A things. Interesting.

This one
needs a good skin cleanser. It's developed a blackhead in each hair follicle ;-)

And here, I thought...
...it looked like a clever little pineapple.
