very good series Gary:clap ,great froghoppers and beetle,seem to be alot of unidentified ones around at moment.
have you tried reducing highlights a little in raw conversion?
lighting looks maybe a little harsh.

Your Leafhopper has a awesome colour scheme happening there :D
Surely it makes it harder to hide when your those bright colours.

The Artichoke Plume Moth looks a cool dude, showing off doing push ups off the leaf :rofl

The unknown Beetle is a pretty little thing, funny how some things look female... like some cats and dogs by just looking at their face you can tell if they are males or females,
without checking out their credentials so to speak :rolleyes

...your digging yourself into a hole Skip shuduppa your face while the goings good girl :giggle

Nice work Gary, thanks for sharing :thumb ... Skippy :D
