I've seen cows eat this stuff. Not sure why they would want to. Does not look that appetizing to me. Maybe it tastes better than it looks - if you are a cow! Excellent!

You know I was thinking just like Optiramma, the black does look like many legged bugs of some sort. Excellent capture Aled, superb clarity and detail, zoom is a must to see this fully. I am wondering what happened to your butterfly though. Excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

Nice macro, Aled. There's a lot of detail now apparent. I used to see a lot of thistles in my Gran's fields. Many were taller than me, the classic Scottish variety, but I never saw any of the dairy cows ( Irish ) eating them... ;o) I have seen thistle soup being prepared on a cooking program, but having tried thistle tea, I think I'll give it a miss.. Warm regards from an autumnal Glasgow, John.
