Mini Alien
Not a clue what species of froghopper (I think) but it struck me that it looked like something that should be in a Scifi film, on a larger scale of course.

Yep, we've been invaded! Is there a blue cast or is that me? Interesting thing.

You're right Tim, I've used my limited skills to adjust as best I can. What's the best way do do it? I'm using PS Elements 5. Any advice would be appreciated. :toast: :toast:

No idea, but it looks like no hopper i know of, as they have blunt noses.

What an intriguing looking creature.
Well I'm going to be akward here and say I like the green surroundings in the first image but prefer the colour balance on the insect on the re-post. :razz:

Prefer the re-post too, what a strange looking creepy-crawley.
