Hi Francisco
Superb shot of this amazing little creature. What a bizzare adaptation this species has developed to help protect it from predation. Great composition and DOF, the light is fine.

Hello Francisco!
Perfect documentary picture of treehopper larvae. You are right, this is not an adult specimen. Larvae use this "cotton" to protect againt predtors (thank to this they are not visible for birds, ect.). Anyway, this is not a part of insect's head but only special substance "putted" on its back :)
Thank you for showing this educative and interesting picture!

Hello Fransisco,
An excellent macro of this tree hopper with very good light management of the sticky white protective secretion on its body. The sharpness and details are superb with the dark BG giving a fine contrast.
A fine contribution to TN!
Thanks and best wishes,

Hi Francisco,
Incredible animal. Never seen anything like this before. Clear details.
During post processing, using "curves" instead of "contrast" allows you to adjust contrasts specifically. In your case, darkening the whites while letting darker tones untouched.

Hello Francisco,
It's sure an exclusive one. Never seen. I'm wondering where it's living.
Great sharpness, details and natural colours. Nice contrasting dark BG. Good composition and POV.
