Treehopper Thorn Bug

Around Home, Southeastern Arizona

There was a slight movement at the very edge of my vision and I tracked it to this. Otherwise,
I never would have seen this down deep in the Desert Broom. Even after I saw it I wasn't sure what
I was looking at. When I zoomed in on it at the computer, I was thrilled. I sent this in to
http://www.bugguide.net and got an e-mail from one of their serious collectors (a Ph.D)
for permission to use this shot! How cool is that?!

Canon EOS 20D ,Sigma 150mm f/2.8 APO EX Macro DG HSM
1/400s f/8.0 at 150.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
