rotate and crop of V2

Pushing the envelope again in regards to extreme macro. This time the specimen clocks in at around 10mm - absolutely tiny! Before focus brackets get mentioned I just want to remind people that this was taken in the wild on a breezy day so this was a moving target! Taken in Swifts Creek, Vic, in January 2007

The alternative, though not as close up, better shows the symbiotic relationship between this species and Meat Ants.

Appears in: Leafhopper and Membracoidea

Fair enough, I've uploaded a version with less cropping, but due to the congested way these insects live it's pretty much impossible to isolate one. I can provide an even less cropped image with more of the LHS nymph if you want - or I can have a shot at cloning it out :-) --Fir0002 08:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
