Thank you! About half a year ago, this was my favorite picture, but you are the first to comment on it! I'll tell you how I saw this interesting bug. I was watering the orange tree in my backyard when I saw a leaf fly out of it. I thought that was strange so started squirting the leaf (kinda stupid of me, really). The leaf fell to the ground, and then I saw that it was actually a bug! So, my brother and I helped it back into the tree and I took a few shots of it. This was my favorite, so I posted it! Thanks again! #2575786

A great example of camouflage, Ariel. I'd like to see her head, and a bit more contrast between the insect and the leaf. You are a much better photographer than you were 6 months ago, so well done to make the capture in the first place... #2820753

Thank you, David! I'll try to change the contrast, too..;- ) #2823512
