4 wings, two eyes, 2 antennae and 6 legs - I am clueless!
Chamblee, DeKalb County, Georgia, USA
August 18, 2008
Size: 1.435mm if that
A white speck fell past my right eye and landed on the holly leaf below. When it moved around, I got excited and snapped the first image ill-prepared for macro. Later I took advantage of a spider's well-crafted lair for other images. WHAT is this insect, please? And think "Miniscule"

Thanks, Warren and Charley!
An hemipteran - whodathunkit! I'll try to get some more images before TS Fay drops some much-needed rain on these parts.
