Bug of the Week: Insect or Not?

Feb-3-2010 By Roberta

A few months ago I took this photograph of a passion vine leaf.

I had a suspicion that the yellow dots might be insect-related, but I wasn’t sure. I found out the answer a few days ago.

So, what do you think? Insect-related or not?

The flowers of this passion vine (Passiflora mexicana) are not as showy as some, but still are unusual.
