Bugs!

I found some truly spectacular aphids on my lime tree over the weekend. They had only infiltrated a few leaves and it was easy to cut off the twig into a tupperware. When I did so, I found that they had constructed something on the back of one of the leaves. I'm not sure if it is eggs the aphids laid, or the eggs that the aphids emerged from, but it's neat looking. I do not advocate bug carnage, but considering the threat to my future margaritas and key lime pies, it was necessary to drown the poor things and then drop them down the disposal. After taking pictures, of course.
