Thanks Lauren. There seems to be a lot of these out there, a bit slightly different from each other.

Hi Dan: All these sites have something like yours and all think it is a Leafhopper nymph, Cicadellidae. Sure is a cute little thing. No one has an adult correlation that I've found. http://www.regua.co.uk/latestnews.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/artour_a/sets/72157627586081050/detail/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/camisilver/6805240681/ http://pbertner.wordpress.com/snakes-and-ladders/ http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/true%20bug

You're probably right Lauren, that narrows it down a bit but still not sure where to search.

Some kind of Homoptera nymph, treehopper, plant hopper?
Dan Doucette
