[font=Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif]Something different. Shot in 2007 but always amazed by their colors. Never seen since. Aptly named Thornbugs, they are pests that prey on some citrus and ornamental plants in Florida[/font]

Super image - the composition, pairing, colors are all winning.
I didn't realize we had these colorful leafhoppers in North America, I've seen them only in photos from SE Asia and Malaysia. Nice to see you back!
