Candy Striped Rose Bud

In this first picture the rose bud caught my eye as I was heading out to the side garden. After I downloaded it, I went to re-size the picture, and to my surprise saw these two aphids, single file, heading down the red strip like it was a road.

The third picture is the same rose a few days later. No aphids in sight. :-)
