CONTEST WEEK XIV STEEMEXCLUSIVE - UPVOTE PLUS 50 STEEM - MACROPHOTOGRAPHY TOGETHER COMMUNITY WORLD OF XPILAR │ SPITTLEBUG AND ITS BUBBLES

Hello, I'm @poenbit. I am very grateful to @sultan-aceh for organizing this macrophotography contest. This time I will take part in the "Contest Week Xiv Steemexclusive - Upvote Plus 50 Steem - Macrophotography Together Community World Of Xpilar".

My wife and I often plant in the yard, there are ornamental plants, medicinal plants, and also some plants for daily needs such as tomatoes, chilies, turmeric and other plants. But this afternoon, I noticed something unique on the branches of the tomato plant, like a bunch of balls or clear bubbles. The soap-like bubbles that stick to the branches of the tomato plant are deliberately created by the parent to provide protection for the nymphs of small insects called spittlebugs. These bubbles provide an emergency oxygen reserve and also protect the Spittlebug nymph from predators such as birds, wasps and spiders.

Then, I took some photos to post on the steemit account and might be suitable for entering a contest organized by [@sultan-aceh](https://steemit.com/hive-185836/@sultan-aceh/contest-week-xiv-steemexclusive-upvote-plus-50-steem-macrophotography-together-community-world-of-xpilar)

To be honest, I was also dissatisfied because I could not clearly see and photograph the Spittlebug nymph in the bubble. Only vaguely visible as seen in the image above. But what is clear is that the Spittlebug nymph bubble is very unique and beautiful when photographed, let alone using a macro lens.
