Description

I don't know what these bugs are called in english. But I do know they can be a pest if you grow hazel nuts. I first wrongly posted this as another kind of bug, but thanks to Torulf I have now corrected some facts :-) Nikon Coolpix 5700: 1/500 sec f/7,4. Focal length 2,73 cm Photoshop for contrast, and level adjutments. Thanks for viewing...all comments are appreciated :-)
