The first dragonfly to let me get close enough to do this! Note the big dent in her eyeball. Ouch!

Take a good look at the legs.

It jumps, it's cute and tiny, ergo, a froghopper. I think.

Edit- No it's not.. It's a leafhopper!

handheld and not much light so this was the sharpest I could get, came out ok I think

Saw this potter wasp just in time to see it stuff a small green caterpillar into its mud "pot". In the second image you can just see a little bit of green from the caterpillar. Potter wasps sting caterpillars just enough to paralyze them. They stock each mud pot with several caterpillars, lay an egg and then seal the pot. The egg hatches and the larva proceeds to eat the still living caterpillars.
