LeafHopper - Cicadellidae

Leafhoppers are quite a rare sight as they're so small and tend to hide on the underside of plant leaves.

This photo was taken with a 50mm Prime lens reversed on a full set of macro extension tubes.

F11.

Flash - AFD360 at 1/4 power with a home made flash diffuser - tissue and clear plastic.

 

Not much detail on these small insects but i managed to get the whole body in complete focus, thought it was worth the upload.
