What's this bug?

. I'm sorry for the lousy picture; I just can't seem to get this digital camera thing down. Anyway, I'm hoping someone will recognize this bug and let me know if it's good or bad. It's 2 of what I think are the same bug. One is on a fig plant, the other of an apricot baby tree.

I'm sorry but it's not possible to identify the bug. Have you got a macro setting on your camera? That would give you a good, clear picture.

I looked through the menu but there's nothing that says macro. Could it be called anything else?

The problem is your camera is focusing on something further away behind the bug, try moving your camera back 6 or 12 inches (15 to 30cm) from the bug and putting your hand behind the leaf the bug is on before taking the picture again, the quality should be good enough that we can zoom in and better identify the bug

Well, the bugs are gone now. I'll try again if they show up.

Try getting a photo of a particular leaf or petal in the meantime with my tips I'm sure you'll be more confident in no time good luck

If you are happy to give me the make and model of your camera I will check for a macro setting.
