# Title Versute Sharpshooter Polishing Body Description A Versute Sharpshooter (Graphocephala versuta) rests on a leaf. This individual has secreted a droplet of milky fluid and is spreading it over the body with their legs. The fluid contains microscopic granules called brochosomes. Experts think that Brochosomes provide a water repellant coat (like car wax) and may have other benefits. Location and Date — Swannanoa, North Carolina, USA 6/27/24 (Note: pre-2000 dates are approximate) Credit Mark Swanson / Swanson Media Camera/Source Nikon D7100 DSLR Lens AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Model/property releases available?
