Found this little fella in the garden today ... put him in front of my 50mm with and extension tube and alot more detail 'popped' out .. They do look rather alien like when up close.. BOB..
Wow isn’t that a strange beast....he looks like he’s been on the beach....do you know what it is? Your lens have done a great job...not your usual photo!
@happypat It is a cicada case Pat .. they are these grubs then they break out of their shells and fly away. If it is still hot and sunny you should hear them in the tree's when you come over. . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphipsalta_zelandica
