Another great set Kurt!

#3 looks like a fruit fly, #7 similar to the cuckoo bee JohnKermit posted recently, or could be a wasp?, and #8 looks more like a moth than a planthopper from that angle but hard to tell, certainly has hopper eyes but looks huge!

Thanks, Troy. #8 hops like a hopper, and doesn't hv moth antennae, therefore i assume it's a hopper :D

Very nice series!

Thanks, Racquel :)

Wow, these are stunning, colours are beautiful and detail razor sharp but somehow still smooth!!! Great stuff :)

Did you get all of these is one session or over time?

Is there a time during the day when these critters sit still longer?

cheers,

Rob
