Issid Planthopper

very good insect macro- what's the   "photo by msdljack" watermark?

Thanks Gregory.

msdljack is my nickname often used in many forum. "Shu-Shin Chin" is my real name.

Beautiful detail, colour and light achieved in this macro Shu-Shin.  Just curious, how tiny would this Planthopper be. Usually they are very tiny as I am imagining this one must be!!!

sincere regards, GAil

Thanks Gail.

This kind is about 4mm long. 

To me, this species of issid planthopper looks more like a giant moth fly due to its unfolded flat wings.

Shu-Shin,

Excellent image. Nice crisp detail in the wings & eyes. Composition on a strong diagonal adds to a flow of the eye. Despite limited palette, image conveys strong colors. Exposure bang on. Thanks for this one.

Hi Shu, great image, tack sharp with wonderful colors.

Warmest regards,

Thank you Shu-Shinn for letting me know how small this Planthopper was. I tried photographing one last summer and it was soooo tiny. It was more of the colour of grey to brown bark. You achieved excellent detail in this shot.
