A 4-mm long, mature Keeled treehopper (Antianthe expansa) peeks over the tip of a leaf. This treehopper resembles a thorn or stem bump as camouflage. Approx. 5:1 magnification (5x life-size).
Photographed in my garden in Long Beach CA.

I've wondered what one of those looked like close up. It's got a primitive look to it.
