Thought I was just taking a pic of aphids on a Virginia Creeper stem but looks more like a whodunnit scene.

Aphid mummies, most likely parasitised by Braconidae - Aphidiinae, and maybe even with cynipoid hyperparasitoids.

Obviously same type of wasp/ behaviour Paul. Funnily enough someone on another forum thought the escape hatches in the aphids was where the aphid got out after shedding it's skin - now that would be neat Smile

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
