Saturday Critters



This is a critter of a different sort ... but I couldn't pass this pretty little Leaf Hopper up as it sat on my red garage door ...  Could nature have done a better job on her camouflage?

It's amazing how nature takes care of it's tiny inhabitants. This is an awesome little critter. The colors here are great! And, I agree if this little leaf hopper were on a shrub, you would never find it. Wonderful photo my friend. Hugs, Edna B.

wow- great camouflage. And great capture against the red background.

It certainly has great camouflage in the wild, not so much with the red background, although that makes her very pretty!
