Hi Sckel, this isn't a Planthopper. It's a Spittlebug. The other common name is Froghopper :)
This Hooper is very small. He jumps like a flea. I have to be like a chameleon, moving slowly so as not to scare the insect. Haha :)
Yes Jared, the problem with the hoppers is that they... hop!!! :-)
Nice hopper. Some hoppers are so hard to photographic because they jump and then. Poof. They are gone.
