Various insects I (56k warning)

A collection of different insects, banded all into the one thread so as not to clog up the forum.

1. A very tiny, what looks like ladybird of some type. Taken with the Sigma lens. This was no more than about 2mm at the very most. Didn't nail enough detail in it, but I think I'd have sersiously ruined the background leaf if I had. Any suggestions on how to deal with this type of shot and bring out more detail etc?

Nice pics I can't help you on ID. I do like the web shots lots of colors in them. Have you tried to invert them it seem to work for Brian, it might give them another look just a thought

Thanks Jeff. For your viewing pleasure, I quickly inverted both web shots, they look quite nifty, you're right! I only posted one of the images here, to keep to the limit of 8 per thread.

Love the millipede and the plant hopper- amazing camouflage on the plant hopper

Great series. I love the web shots. Very colorful bg indeed

Thanks guys, that planthopper is sure nice isn't it? He was quite large, so I had to remove two tubes to get him full frame. Easily an inch long I reckon. I like the webshots as well, if only they'd been a fraction sharper, dang wind!
