Strange spiderfrom Seoul

JetCrocodile

Hi!

In spite of huge number of dragonflies flying near the hotel, I did not manged to photograph any of them. Shame, but after 11 day stay in Seoul I can show only some very strange jumping spider (at least it looks like a spider) and some other insect. Both photographed with reversed 50mm attached directly to the camera, no flash.












Regards,

Wow, wonderful little bugs. I've seen somewhat similar bugs here in Japan.

By the way, they're definitely not spiders. Spiders have eight legs, insects have six.

No idea what that little bug is, but you captured it well. The detail is fantastic.

Wonderful captures- the are a plant hopper of some type. Last one is a katydid nymph I think.

Sven I have never seen bugs like the first two in your post.
Love the colour of the Red one, and the markings on both.

Great shots ... Skippy

think you need sensor cleaning or get cloning tool to work on the dirt marks.
