I've always been aware of the fact that insects can assume rather peculiar appearances, but this one take the cake. That is, until I come across something even more unusual.
The insect in question is a weird-looking brown creepy-crawly, belonging to the Membracidae family, commonly known as the treehopper. What sets it apart is the way is pronotum, which is the protective plate at the front of their thorax, extends upward and over their body. In certain species, the pronotum takes on the appearance of a thorn, earning them the nickname "thorn bugs." However, in other species, it assumes even more eccentric shapes.
Treehoppers can be spotted on various tree species, with a preference for young trees and perennial weeds. They are relatively small, measuring under 10mm in body length, and both adults and nymphs can often be found in groups on the stems and new growth of their host plants. These peculiar insects possess mouthparts equipped with two sharp tubes—one for injecting saliva to prevent the tree's defenses from sealing up the puncture and the other for sucking.
What truly makes them unique is their natural instinct to jump when disturbed, which explains their common name: treehoppers.
I have several lateral shots, but loved this full frontal of its questioning gaze.

One of fifty-one new designs I captured from inside one of my real kaleidoscope. This particular scope uses light from the side which reflects through colored glass into pieces of glass and jewels floating in oil. It also has a black bottom and black sides so the light actually illuminates the inside items like neon. I like the sparkling cream-colored petals topped with a sparkling champage glass and floating flower.
They were all over my garden on Saturday when I took this pic 🐝
Got lucky and caught this one mid flight on his way to the pink flower 🌺
This is to show the reflection of the lightsource on the black tube leading down to the actual kaleidoscope image. One of fifty-one new designs I captured from inside one of my real kaleidoscope.

I was so happy to get something so bright from down the black tube of my kaleidoscope. My camera lens seemed to fit perfectly over the optical opening and I used my daylight lamp to really light up the image at the other end. I was able to create some very bright images from this picture.

11/4/2013: I love how this shot turned out. This is another Harinezumi macro capture in vivid 2. This succulent is turning a red-orange color from green and it's rooting along the stems. What I really enjoy about this shot is the clear definition of the roots and slightly off kilter color of the succulent in the shadow. Also, the colors are wonderfully vibrant.
