Nice set Neil, shame the takeoff just when out of focal range. I don't seem to be able to fine those hopper nymphs in my garden. It looks quite prehistoric to me :) :thumbs:

Great images, but my fav is the dandelion, mainly because the bloom always plays a poor second fiddle to the seed clocks with these and that shots really makes the flower beautiful :thumbs:

Lovely set, the Plant Hopper Nymph is great, same here I have never seen one before around here.

Cheers All, I love the Plant Hopper Nymph :) Now going to have to look harder, as the wife, has gone crazy with the shearers when she came in from work, stress relief I think. Glad I didn't get in the way :)

Nice shots, the take off shot looks almost done on purpose, it doesn't suffer as much as expected and gives it a sense of movement. :)
