Tired of lugging the 250mm, I slipped an 11mm extension tube on the 135
this afternoon and walked outside. There was not a butterfly to be
seen, but the Buddleia was covered with large bees. Handicapped by a
lens-to-subject distance of 2-3 ft., I snapped a few bee photos.
I also noted what appeared to be tiny balls of white lint floating
around. When I saw one settle on a leaf, I looked closer, and it
appeared to have wings. This puzzled me, so I snapped a few shots,
hoping to get something useful. The total size seemed to be about 2mm.
Bee by extension tube:

Possibly a Woolly Aphid, though not sure:
