Leaf Hopper on plant stalk

[Bilbo_baggin]

This little leaf hopper was on the end of a leaf stalk on the same shrubby stems that was covered (and hence likely to have been stripped) by some big caterpillars (will post one later) and even though the pose was good, the wind was not. Way to windy fopr a top shot, but not bad in the circumstances.


Used tubes (x3) on the Siggy 105.

WDYT?

That thing must be TINY to use 3 tubes and for it to still be for the most part quite a small critter.

However, it's very nice and sharp and the DoF is perfect. Great shot mate

My fav out of the few shots you've posted this weekend. I think the plain background add's to it. Amazing detail as previously said
