Green Leaf Hopper, maybe?
I love to photograph insects, even if I don't know their names. What's in a name, anyway.
You need to use the close-up function on the camera.
Insects don't like seeing people up close. It makes them feel insecure.
Likewise, people don't like seeing a bug up close, either, whether it's looking at them or not, as bugs make people feel insecure, for the most part.
Not all, though. Not me. I love to look at bugs.
Today, a beautiful green bug landed right near me, and let me take its photo...hand-held up close...before it left. What luck!
When you're out cycling, you will rarely get an opportunity like this unless you stop and picnic on the ground. Cycling is too fast.
However, you still get to see animals crossing your trail, birds flying overhead or taking off right in front of you from nearby ponds, and sunsets will stop you right in your path.
I stop so often to take pictures when I'm cyclling that I get exhausted from all the starting up again.
Getting good photos, however, is just serendipity.
Like the Guides and Scouts say,
'Be Prepared'.
