Bugs and John...What is it?

[annie]

 

It was so tiny, smaller than a small ant...I only spotted it cause it jumped...Is a baby leaf hopper?

[FUJI]

WOW!

 

Annie, that is a cracking, Spot-On, bit of focussing.................Well Done you!

 

 

What a fascinating little critter?

 

 

I have a feeling that it might benefit from a touch of contrast and sharpening?

 

Your local Micro-Climate, must be 20 degees warmer than the rest of the country?

Thanks Fuji..

 

I have not played with the pic at all other than a crop, so you are right I do need to do a bit of work on it.

 

PS...Do you know what it might be?

[Paul]

It's a leaf-hopper Annie - from the Cicadellidae family, Empoasca vitis.

 

 

Abundant - but well photographed.

Nice one, Annie   Your Raynox, I guess? 

[annie]

Yeah I thought it was Paul..but as it was so ting I was not sure, I wonder if it will grow to be one of those lovely green, yellow and blue ones I found last year..?

 

Yes Nanny, me Radox....but on the HS50...which is far more beefy any heavy than the HS20....need to get used to it..!

[Paul]

It won't sadly. The one you are talking of is the Cicadella Viridis like the one I took back 2011.

 

So as not to hijack the thread though, I have hidden it in a spoiler for you.
