It took some time for this tiny insect to ascend to the top of this leaf, which may have looked like a mountain to him, and once there he seemed relax and pose for me, as though he was really proud of his accomplishment.
I don’t have any idea what kind of insect he is and would welcome any additional information (or even guesses) from fellow bloggers. To aid you in identification, I have loaded a higher resolution view that you can access by clicking on the photo.

I wish I could tell you, but I don’t recognize it…really great photo.
Great metaphor for the photo. I am sure he was proud.
I’m not very good with bugs and usually have to look at a thousand photos on bug websites to ID them. Whatever he is, you’ve got a great shot of him.
