3 more:

The varieties of hoppers are endless down there. I don't know how many different ones I have shown already, but here are two more. Each is small (~0.5-1cm). No saturation adjustment at all, those are the natural colors.

Well I have to agree with Ken on the number of hoppers down there. We probably saw more different hoppers than just about any insect species. Anyway, Ken, those hoppers are just beautiful. Great colors & focus.

Notice the rear legs on the beetles also.....you got a pair of flea beetles (leaf beetles, family Chrysomelidae)

All three photos are awesome Ken

#2 is just amazing with those colors

"Flea Beetles?" I have never heard of "Flea Beetles."

Well there is a first time for everything they say

Beautiful images, all three but the show stopper, I think, is the second image. A very colorful little hopper indeed.
