• Bugscope Teamnow you are on the eye of the leafhopper

• Bugscope Teamand we have just moved to the housefly

• Bugscope Teamyou can see the calypters
• Bugscope Teama calypter is called an alula as well, but only if it covers the haltere, according to a sort of helpful site on the web
• Bugscope Teamwe can see that the calypter has two parts, or a fold that makes it look that way
• Bugscope Teambelow it is the haltere on this side
• Bugscope Teamas often occurs, the haltere is shriveled compared to what it looks like on a live fly

• Bugscope Teamthis little hemipteran is green and has wings; I thought it was a flying aphid but I didn't see its cornicles
• Bugscope Teamcornicles are also called siphuncles
• Bugscope Teamtrue bugs have piercing/sucking mouthparts like these
• Bugscope Teamyou can see some scales from another insect -- a moth or a mosquito or a butterfly -- on the 'shoulder' to the right in our view
