Field Notes

Description:

I have no idea what this is. It's only about one millimeter in length. Found on a curled-up leaf in a garden. I found another one on the same plant that was a little larger but he crawled off before I could get any photos of him.

Habitat:

In a garden.

Sergio, thanks for your help. Don't know about the dark hairs since this is the first one I've ever seen. Appreciate the information. Joe

It is a leafhopper nymph (Family Ciccadellidae). A very interesting one, by the way: I never found one with those dark hairs in the body!
