You all know I’m fascinated by all the wee creatures in my garden. And sometimes, some of them are extremely wee!

My neighbour and I came across this itsy bitsy grasshopper while we were poking about the gardens the other evening. I have never seen one so small – he couldn’t have been bigger than a centimetre or so.

Hanging about with him was a little hoverfly.

We have several different types of hoverflies in the garden and some of them are super tiny!

These little things – Red Banded Leaf Hoppers – are another common sight. They are brightly coloured but I had a hard time getting pictures of them. They are small, fast, and like to hop out of frame before I can get focused!
Terrific pics!
Have had leaf hoppers here, but I didn’t know what they were…now I do.

Tiny, tiny creatures. So beautiful. Such an act of precision in creating all of these insects and animals too.
