Penthicodes farinosa eye, Heesch, Netherlands Extreme macro (5:1) of the eye of this lanternfly. This would be an example of dried specimens being unattractive for extreme macro.

Penthicodes farinosa eye, Heesch, Netherlands

Extreme macro (5:1) of the eye of this lanternfly. This would be an example of dried specimens being unattractive for extreme macro. In particular the eyes of insects very quickly degrade when dead.

    Definitely quite different than a live/freshly dead specimen. But, nevertheless, still interesting and valuable. Posted 4 years ago

      Thanks. I was wondering if the part below the eye is an ocelli? Couldn't find any good resource on it. Posted 4 years ago

        It could be a lateral ocellus, but looks too big to me. I was thinking that it might be the scape from where the antenna broke off? Posted 4 years ago

          These diagrams will show you the structure of the antennae:

          But, I don't really know if it is the scape or an eye or something else. I am trying to find a mugshot of a fulgorid and haven't found any good ones showing the exact location of the antennae yet. Sorry!           Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

            Different kind of hopper, but demonstrates my point about the antennae:

            No worries, thanks for trying. I had the same problem trying to find a diagram.

            I think you're theory of it being a gape is solid though. Would be an odd position for an ocelli if the purpose is to collect light, with a massive real eye directly above it.             Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago
