Pesky pests - the Aphids ๐Ÿฆ—

What seems like white flakes on the flower are actually baby Aphids. These little pests boom in the spring. Most visible when they devour the rose bush.

The eggs here were laid on budding flowers and as the petals open, out hatch the little pests, right in the middle of a feast.
