Leaf Hopper on plant stalk

[Paul Iddon]

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?
