Hi,

A quick posting not from my usual computer so hope it looks OK, am away at the moment, but will be a Wicken Fen tomorrow on my way home...

Came across this Froghopper (I think my ID is correct but no idea of the exact species) during a little bit of spare time. The insect is no more than 10mm in size...

All the best

Phil

Lovely crisp macro shot Phil.
Like the diagonal stem format too.

Spot on. If it wasn't for macro, I wouldn't be able to appreciate any of these tiny things these days.

Put it this way if I could get my shots half as good as this I'd be a very happy chappy.
