Another aphid giving birth

[GardenersHelper]

Matt's photos of an aphid giving birth reminded me that I had captured something similar some time ago. By chance I was just looking through my stuff at iSpot looking for an ID for Simon's post in the new Official ID Thread when I came across the aphid pictures I had been thinking about. They were captured a couple of years ago at one of the local nature reserves using a Canon SX10 bridge camera and an achromat, presumably Raynox 250, with natural light.
