Came in from the garden to process some pics and found this on my arm- managed to coax it onto a handy letter and it decided to visit the queen :)
Bug about 2.5mm long.

Back of the Queen's neck :)

My one and only leafhopper to date, I also took in from the garden stuck onto my jumper.

I managed to take it outside and ease it onto a leaf where I managed to capture it various times. Admittedly, I did put a glass over it on two occasions when I wanted to go to the computer to process the photos taken.

What a little cutie! It looks brandnew :) Did it show the proper ettiquette in front of Her Majesty?

Hiya Brian,
That's a nice shot, one thing though Brian is I can see you washed it & prepped it for photographing but you forgot to remove the excess Talc from under it armpits lol
Cheers for now

Nice shot Brian, had to think about the Queen bit; then it smacked me right between the eyes. Duh!

Thanks for the comments all :)
Thought the 1st class stamp added a sense of scale rather nicely. :)
