Everywhere in the garden today
Freaking out, we thought these were deer ticks. But Betsy kindly enlighted us. These are aphids.
Aphids are irritating but do not transmit zoonotic diseases. Deer ticks, however, are responsible for most lyme disease transmission to humans.
Now, come *on* New England. Who ever heard of red aphids? Aphids are supposed to be white -- maybe beige, or light green ... but BLOOD RED? Totally, like, weird.
Film at Eleven: LA girl moves to Connecticut, also gets totally freaked out by fireflies. True story.
