Pretty small too. I had been in the backyard with my Olympus OM D M-10 camera with an MCON- P01 close up adapter on when I spotted these on a
Magnolia leaf. Couldn't get as close as I wanted so I went back in &
got my Nikon D7100 with the 105 Dine lens. Shot at life size with about
a 50% crop...ID pending from Bug Guide....
