Candy-striped leafhopper

It's one of my favorite hoppers so far Carol!

Great series! I love the beautiful colors!

Thanks Jeannette!

Amazing spot :)

Thanks Melissa! I've been hoping to find one for ages so I was really excited to spot this little guy!

What an awesome spot, Karen!! Such a beauty!!

Thanks Oneng!
Jacob, the great thing about digital photography is you can take loads of shots & keep the best & discard the rest! I grew up with 35mm film cameras - I didn't take photos of bugs then but if I had I would have had to take just one or 2 shots & hope for the best because film & processing were expensive. Plus I would have had to wait for days to get my prints back before I knew if any had worked out!

Beautiful colour...

Interesting! I know all to well of trial and error! I sometimes take twenty minutes focusing on one subject!

Thanks Jacob! I have a clip on macro converter but really a lot is down to trial & error! I will often take 20 or more shots of the same subject (if it hangs around long enough!) Sometimes they all turn out well, but more usually there will be 4 or 5 decent photos & sometimes only one in perfect focus!

How can you get such a perfect macro? :) Beautiful!

Thank you Marcelo & Neil!

Another nice one Karen!

Great spotting!

Thank you Toshimi & Leanne!

Thank you Adam! Yes this was a very wee little guy! The colors weren't really visible until I looked through my lens at him!
