This 5x macro shot shows a tiny aphid nymph taking in an early lunch of orchid in Golden Gate Park.

San Francsico's Conservatory of Flowers kicked off its latest display today. It will run for the next two months featuring orchids "from Bolivia to Brazil and beyond." See a few shots of what they have after after the jump.
The aphid's lunch. Can you spot her?

A Dracula Orchid from South America. As advertised, it's hairy and has face-like markings.

Their regular displays are worth a visit as well. Admission is free on the first Tuesday of every month. See you there!
