Globular Springtails, Beetle and Hopper.

I noticed all these little black dots on very old and neglected grave stones today which turned out to be Globbies, crowds of them, which I haven't noticed there before. Also the hopper and what I think is a Flea Beetle were on a gravestone. I need to use my tubes next time and try a monopod, without something to lean I found stability difficult whilst hanging onto the dog's lead with squirrels teasing her.

Nicely done, Brenda. Macro is tough enough without a dog to hang on to.
Thanks Ken, usually I can just drop the lead but she likes to chase squirrels and they have to be on the lead in the cemetery anyway.

Have a means to tie her to a tree, maybe.
A herd of globbies! Flea beetle is possible, but I would like the hind femur to be thicker. Probably the same family (Chrysomelidae).

Brenda, super job and I really like seeing your adorable herd of globbies. I've seen several Hoppers around here although never one marked and colored like yours so thanks for sharing it.
