Great shot Brian. Like the lighting and the detail in the wings.

Lovely shot Brian, I am finding a lot of these around now, I just brush a plant with my hand and they all take to the air. Really nice colours up close and your shot is showing that.

Thank you Alistair. They just look white from a distance, but are lovely closeup.

Thanks Alby. Yes just walk through the plants and it's like a snow storm.

Another very good shot Brian - nice even lighting and a pretty leafhopper to boot. I find these suckers usually too nervous to get good shots of :(

Thanks Dave. Yes they are skittish. I find the best way is locate where some are and wait, very still for few Min's then they seem ok.
