My son has a knack for finding little creatures. Not sure of the technical name of this one, we always just call them leaf hoppers.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week! :)
How ironic! You've got a Leaf Hopper and I've got a Leaf Cutter for this week!
ReplyDeletewhat a great find.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of an ugly bug, what ever his name is!
ReplyDeleteUgly little bugs but great macros.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a little tank...neat Lisa...
ReplyDeleteincredible pics. he almost appears to be surfing (first/ last photos)... have a great night.
ReplyDeleteCool shots, that's what I've always heard them called too.
ReplyDeleteHe's definitely an interesting lil guy... kinda looks like a chip of wood! heheheee
ReplyDeleteGreat macro, though
He certainly isn't the most handsome little bug is it; but you certainly got his eye!
ReplyDeleteSuper macros!
I always thought they were interesting creatures. So oddly shaped like a space ship or something. We call them leaf hoppers too. great pics.
ReplyDeleteNow that bug is so ugly it's cute!!!

ReplyDeletei think they look like tiny versions of dinosaurs.
amazing little creatures.

Wow! I have seen that but don't know what it's name, they're really weird looking. I'll try to find it and see if it's the same.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots
ReplyDeleteLooks like one of those moths. Clever capture!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful macro contrast, the bug itself so clearly defined
ReplyDeleteagainst a painterly looking background -
Amazing tittle one!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Lisa dear.

It looks like a little black frog. Great macro.
ReplyDelete[...] Macro Monday at Lisa’s Chaos [...]
ReplyDeletethat is one cute bug, and those dreamy light shades made him stand out beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHe's built like a little tank. :)
ReplyDeleteThey look so alien, great captures Lisa
ReplyDeleteWhat a tiny creature. Great captures Lisa.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like he's got some body armor on. Great captures Lisa - such soft dreamy backgrounds too.
ReplyDeleteYou made yours look very poetic, but I wish all my leafhoppers would hop away.
ReplyDeleteFar away.

ReplyDeleteFar away.
They sure aren´t pretty, but they make pretty pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteWow..it's not a very pretty bug, but your photos made it look very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love these little guys, and you did a great job photographing him! Ours are mostly green and shiny but I like your knobbly brown one. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a lovely space here! Lovely pictures!
ReplyDeleteEwwww, what a creepy looking creature!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots of the leaf hopper! WOWZA!
ReplyDeleteCan't say that I've ever seen one of those before, but what great macro images!
ReplyDeleteThese little creatures are so easily overlooked but are so interesting when viewed close up. Well spotted, your son :-)
ReplyDeleteWe have those too. We call them the same thing!
ReplyDeleteIs that what those guys are called? I never knew. We have them all over the place down here. Don't think I've ever been so close to one as this though.
ReplyDeleteGreat macro, lovely colors ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo, that's an interesting bug for sure. I like his colors!
ReplyDeleteSo intreresting Macro, and nice colours!
ReplyDeleteAwesome captures!
ReplyDeletevery cool.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I love how you can see the texture on the wings I guess they are.
ReplyDeleteWow, I don't care what you call it, it's kind of a creepy looking little thing. =) Beautiful shots, though!
ReplyDeleteI think that's a brown stink bug. lol
