Amazon part 9

Post by Moebius »

First guy is another teeny hopper...5-7mm in length. Even though the color looks saturated, that is just how bright he really is.

Next one is just part of a cluster of caterpillars of some sort

This last one is quite common as well as a couple others I will post later that are similar but with different color schemes. Notice the club-like rear leg. This is on all the pics I have of this and related species. Wish I had gotten an underneath shot to see what this really looked like.

Wonderful images Ken...I wait everyday to see more. Looks like you could do a book on Amazon insects. Beautiful backgrounds on all of them. The beetle looks like a flea beetle, they usually have enlarged rear legs for shooting away. http://bugguide.net/node/view/7837

Doug,

I am going to make a book...not just Amazon insects but my others as well. Of course, this will just be a Photobook (www.blurb.com, for example) for myself and a few friends/family . I have done extensive research on these and the quality gets better and better. The selection (hardcover/softcover), quality of pages (matte, glossy), number of pages (up to 400) all for $30-$80. There are quite few discussions on the forums at dpreview.com regarding opinions/reviews of various photobook sites.

One is http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read. ... e=20823752

Most have the ability for full bleed and you can either create the page yourself in your own software or they have one you can use.

Nothing like holding a book in your hands....

Of course, I will create a small test book initially to test their printing/brightness/saturation/etc. so that I know how well they will print.

Those Amazon hoppers looks like a tropical fishes or lure at least. :shock: :D
