 A little bigger than a leafhopper but still a small bug. Latin Paraulacizes irrorata. Not a big fan of being photographed; he would sidle over to the other side of the stem or leaf he was on to avoid me, but patience paid off eventually. Maybe he decided if I hadn't tried to kill him by then I wasn't going to ;-)

Handheld, 36mm + 20mm extension tubes, diffused flash.

PP - cropped, levels, increased saturation, resized, sharpened, added border.

Nice pattern on the bug. You're not a bad sharpshooter yourself!
