Detailed Description
A leafhopper, or something related to a leafhopper, that happened to show up in our bycatch at the lab (Laurel, Maryland). Arrayed in such a lovely way, we were compelled to take its picture. I would love to have someone come in with leafhopper specimens, or hunt them on the refuge, so we could photograph fresh material. I would also love some help identifying this specimen. And now, we know it is Stirellus bicolor ...Thanks Jay Lehtinen!. Photography Information: Canon Mark II 5D, Zerene Stacker, Stackshot Sled, 65mm Canon MP-E 1-5X macro lens, Twin Macro Flash in Styrofoam Cooler, F5.0, ISO 100, Shutter Speed 200, USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.
