creature: leaf bug scientific name: unknown location: Elmhurst, IL Submitted by: Erik Maldre, Elmhurst, IL date: 9/8/2003 Look for story and factoids below image STORY: There was this tiny leaf bug hanging out on my barbeque grill. The grill is smooth to the touch, so the dimpled texture gives a sense of the scale. I had to use a pretty low aperature since the lighting was so dark. The camera was simply placed on the grill to prevent camera shake. I used a Nikon D100 with a macro lens. Pretty nice reflection, eh? FACTOIDS: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/leaf+bug I guess my photo isn't of a leaf bug according to this link. http://www.globalgallery.com/enlarge/022-27654/ More evidence that this isn't a leaf bug.
