Incredible. Well done to find this. I bet you laughed when you saw it though.
Really cute little snouted thing.
Cool spotting.. Congratulation!
Thank you Rob.
Very cool
Thank you beaker98! I was pancaked on the trail for this one. I was hoping to better capture the "nose" but was so giddy with excitement that I finally found a Scolops that I didn't pay attention :)
What an awesome plant hopper! Nice capture!
