Hi Bruce,

To say it is "er green" as Phil says you have achieved nice separation between the leaf and insect. You certainly seem to have a lot of interesting insects around your way!

You would think this guy was just visiting the UK from some tropical country. I think the green works very well because the creature stands out really nice.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Karl - I'll give the kitchen towel diffuser a go - thanks for the tip.
