So my (privet) hedge is slowly being killed, so I took a look up close and could see things moving, so thought I would crack out the cheapo usb microscope and take a closer look...
Bad idea as I now have a case of the creeps, especially as Ive been googling everything "creepy crawly" to find out what this is, here are some screen shots of what I was seeing through the microscope:
Sorry about the poor image quality, it was a £5 microscope, and these things are TINY! (for scale, the bottom pic is the main "vein" of a leaf about the size of a 50p peice, though the different pictures were at different levels of magnification so probably do not help...
So what is it?! And how do I kill it (without fire or nukes)
