Found this young chap hanging out on the fold of a leaf.I could'nt believe how small he was(hence i had to use all the tubes).

Thought it was cool how transparent they are aswell.Looking at this shot you can see his insides.

Wow, that's a wall hanger for sure, a micro landscape.

Brilliant, even though its big in the image you still feel its tiny and the detail and background set it off perfectly
