~I Wonder What A Common Froghopper Looks Like At x7.77 Magnification~
I found a Common Froghopper and just out of interest I wondered if it would let me photograph it with my MP-E and 112mm of extension tubes, so it did lead me a merry old dance at first, but it eventually gave up and stayed put, I used live view to get focus on the eye, this was the best use of the tiny DOF that I could get on this guy, this is why focus stacking was invented. So anyway, thought I'd share the results of my little experiment with you all. I also did the same experiment with a Harlequin Ladybird, will post that later. I had my aperture set at F/6.3 for this single exposure shot, as this is the aperture I use for my Collembola at this magnification.
