2wheelsgood Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 In the last week I've noticed a proliferation of these tiny green insects flying about aimlessly (this is in Jhb). I've had several end up in my eyes and must've swallowed a dozen easy. Anyone else? I remember when I used to motorcycle, on Sunday rides to Harties I'd take a little bottle of window cleaner with to wipe down my visor and headlights because they'd get covered in the little buggers.Anyone know what insect it is exactly?

2wheelsgood Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 I think it could be this... they're really tiny, difficult to note any characteristics. I don't have a camera that's going to show any useful detail ;(

Any good?
(Deon) Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 There is one in my ear right now! Died there.. now what?
2wheelsgood Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 What do they taste like? Any good? haha, have no idea actually, usually I'm only aware that I'm swallowing one as I'm swallowing it. I think you'd have to have quite a few of them in your mouth before you could really taste anything, being as small as they are.Anyway they seem to be true to their name as I'm not encountering them this week...
2wheelsgood Posted June 5, 2013 Author Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Okay! I was wrong, they are still about. I managed to borrow a camera (a Nikon Coolpix L25) and find a model. 10c coin for size ref.(click image to see full size) Edited June 5, 2013 by 2wheelsgood
Danus24 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Yeah.... my car covered in them this morning.... Resilient little bast@rds wouldn't even come off on the highway doing 120km/h. Think they are aphids
