Issus coleoptratus (Fabricius, 1781)

At last, spring is here and so is my first macro shot of the year 🥳
I've tried a new lens configuration (100mm macro + Raynox DCR250) but I'm not convinced, the depth of field is way too shallow.
Also tried a new 7W ring light, pretty happy with it (need a new USB powerbank, though).

A fun critter from my weekends outing. This is an Eggplant Horned Planthopper feeding on Willow. My new light diffuser is a huge pain in the ass, but I do like its nice soft light. It will require some major modification so I don't keep missing shots.

Die Larven der Echten Käferzikade (Issus coleoptratus) findet man oft auf Efeu oder Ilex. Insbesondere Aug in Auge sehen die kleinen Racker niedlich aus.
