Two-lined gum treehopper, Eurymeloides bicincta on a eucalypt branch
 
Alternative 1 - being harvested by a meat eater ant - a cloned version also exists
 
Alternative 2 - more face on

I guess I should stick to photography... :) Found a young tree with these tiny critters crawling over it so took a few snaps. High quality and high enc value. It was a shame I cropped off the ant's antennae but they were moving very fast (both the ant and the antennae) so it was quite fortunate I got it in frame at all.

Appears in Leafhopper

lol, yeah well I think generally when you talk about insects and stuff you do it in mm. Exif is stripped when saving for web in photoshop (which I do to reduce file size as you can see below...) --Fir0002 03:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure, on the original version i found the DOF unfortunatly and the insect in the background distracting. Alt 2 has better DOF but the flashlight especially on the branch is too harsh for my taste. --Central Powers 23:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I assume you mean by "DOF unfortunately" that it is too shallow? In which case this is somewhat unusual since it has identical aperture and if anything better angle to Alt 2 in terms of getting more in focus. It is perhaps unfortunate that the other tree hopper is there, but that is how they cluster along the branch; and surely if you didn't find the other terns in Image:Crested tern444 edit.jpg distracting the very much OOF secondary hopper shouldn't make too much of a difference...? --Fir0002 00:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support Alt 2. The cleanest composition for mine, the other hoppers in the background in the others are a bit distracting, especially in thumbnail. Weak as the flash reflection is a little bright. (Now this nom is going to be confusing to close.) --jjron 12:21, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support alt 1 or 2 prefer alt 1, as ant interaction is very enc. Debivort 19:47, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
