p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Planthopper Issus coleoptratus Adult


This was on top of the door mirror of my car yesterday. It cannot fly but it hopped off after a few shots. I have seen, and photographed, the nymphs of this species in my garden but this was my first session with an adult.

I didn't have time to assemble a twin flash setup so this was done with a single flash.

EM-1 (manual mode*), Kiron 105mm f11, hand-held.

*[Edit] It was 1/60 and Aperture Priority, not manual mode (I have just checked the EXIF). [Edit ends].

Images cropped by ca 50% to exclude large areas of mirror holder plastic.

Thanks, Brian.

I had no time to check settings. It was 1/60 and Aperture Priority, not manual mode (I have just checked the EXIF). This explains why I had to reject the best pose because it had a double image blur. I got away with it because it was a dull day. I will edit the post.

Thanks, Ron.

These bugs are a delight for macro. This one walked more or less sideways, crablike and quite funny to watch.

Today I parked my car and got out. I looked down to see this character.

This one was active, almost continuously walking along the edge of the car roof. This shot, with my Printing Nikkor, excluded its feet as I sought a low angle. This is heh sort of viewpoint I failed to get last time.
