Hidden Gem - _TNY_3008S2

A two-exposure focus stack of a rather small wilow flea beetle (Crepidodera aurata) hiding in a nook on a sallow (Salix caprea) at Åva-Stensjödal in Tyresta National Park.

 

This one was pretty darn small - this photo still has it small even when taken at 3.7:1 magnification.

 

Here's one with it out in the open taken at the same magnification but cropped harder: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52886751823/

 

For scale, here's a phone camera shot of it with my fingers for scale: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52886690635/
