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?
Thanks! I should have popped him into my mouth! Hahaha!
So cute. A gummy candy.
Thanks Argy and Mona. It's a start of an ID anyway.
This is my favorite... cutey Red.. Good spotting.
Pretty little sucker. I think it's a hopper nymph (Cicadellidae) This one is the same but no name http://www.flickr.com/photos/69323631@N06/6805240681
