Issus coleoptratus (Fabricius, 1781)

Published under #CC0 here https://flic.kr/p/2qUWnCw

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).

Still a few minibeasts about: Issus coleoapterus (nymph), an unidentified springtail, a Trioza (most likely T. remota), and a tephritid fly (possibly Tephritis vespertina). I see these, and a couple of others, nearly every day. The triozid and the fly were both covered in ice crystals on Sunday.
