I was lucky to even see this little green bug. Talk about camouflage. He kept moving around hiding on the branch (like squirrels do on tree trunks) as I tried to get this image.
He’s about a half inch tall
After doing a search on a bug identification site, I came to the conclusion that this guy is a planthopper. No, not a leafhopper, but a planthopper. According to the experts, planthoppers have fewer leg spines and a “more interesting head” than leafhoppers. I didn’t make that up. Thank heavens, at least my bug has an interesting head. Whew…
That’s rather heady of them to say this!

lol Agreed, John. It seemed a little elitist to call that out. I guess there can be snobs in any field. (Sorry for answering so late!)

The photo is delicious. I guess you’d hafta ask the birds if the bug itself is equally delectable, eh?

He’s stumpy compared to a simple-headed leaf hopper, mind you. He’s a nice bright green.

haha ‘an interesting head’ – that made me giggle!
Good photo! If they are as small as a leaf hopper, which I’ve seen before, then he’s probably pretty energetic, too. 🙂

Entomologists come up with the best descriptions it seems. This guy is less than a half inch tall.

Hahaha I was going to say it was a leaf hopper. Not sure I’ve ever heard of a plant hopper.

Planthopper was new to me, too. A bug ID website was used to get the name.
