Great capture David. Wish I could find some like this around here. We should meet some August in southern Arizona - more insects than we'd know what to do with! #1236935

Thanks Bob, Kitty and Hayden for the positive feedback.
Bob, I would love to go out with you to photograph insects in Arizona. I'll keep it in mind if I travel in that area. Are you near Tuscon? By the way, a similar species of these thorn looking treehoppers are found in the USA east coast. There may be some in Arizona. #8371134

Great job David! The closed-down aperture allowed good DOF on the insect. #8377810
