Macro Monday Leaf Hopper

My son has a knack for finding little creatures. Not sure of the technical name of this one, we always just call them leaf hoppers.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week! :)

He certainly isn’t the most handsome little bug is it; but you certainly got his eye!

Wow! I have seen that but don’t know what it’s name, they’re really weird looking. I’ll try to find it and see if it’s the same.

A wonderful macro contrast, the bug itself so clearly defined
against a painterly looking background -

It looks like he’s got some body armor on. Great captures Lisa – such soft dreamy backgrounds too.

You made yours look very poetic, but I wish all my leafhoppers would hop away.
Far away.

Is that what those guys are called? I never knew. We have them all over the place down here. Don’t think I’ve ever been so close to one as this though.
