Quite a lot of cool leaf hoppers you have there! Your butterfly shot is really nice too.

All in all, a great series!

Agree with Chris- excellent series- lovely collection of plant hoppers and you did well to get eye detail on the butterfly as well as the ant.

Weirdos indeed. I've never seen anything like these. I like the very impressive butterfly close-up too - maybe a European skipper (called essex skipper over here)?
