Got some good shots there. Some hot spots here and there, but flash control seems better than mine lol. The black insects turn out well, and you got some good detail and colour on the tree hopper and grasshopper.

i am really fascinated with this tree-hopper thing. i mean, it comes in so many forms and shapes. i am still wondering what is that white cotton-like material made of and where did it come from. is it something like the silky web material made by spiders? but one thing for sure, the cotton-like material would greatly help the hopper to sustain flight between hops.
