Macro and Flora IOTW 2/12/10 Vida van der Walt

Congratulations Vida van der Walt

A tiny nymph of a leafhopper. I've encountered different shapes and colours of these little insects before. This little guy almost glowed and the tail was almost blindingly white. They can jump quite far and are quite skittish. I darkened the whites slightly to recover some of the detail at the beginning of the tail. I also crpd, shrpnd, adjusted levels, reduced the yellows, noise and changed the curve of the leaf in the LLC.
