Smaller Than You Think - _TNY_3002
Have a look at this wilow flea beetle (Crepidodera aurata) on a sallow (Salix caprea) at Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park and try to figure out what size it is.
Then head on over here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52886690635/ and see if you were right - I'm guessing you were a bit off.
There were several of these hanging around on the sallow but they were fairly fast at jumping away so it took some time to get clear shots. This is shot at 3.7:1 magnification.
