[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a very small but colorful insect. It is about 3 mm long but I have no idea what it is. Anyone have a clue.

Thanks to Howard I found more info on Leafhopper homepage. a small part of that info:

"Leafhoppers are one of the largest families of plant-feeding insects. There are more leafhopper species worldwide than all species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians combined. Leafhoppers feed by sucking the sap of vascular plants, and are found almost anywhere such plants occur, from tropical rainforests, to arctic tundra. Several leafhopper species are important agricultural pests."

I really like this little insect. I have never seen anything like that before. Interesting colors and patterns. Great shot with sharp details and good light. Excellent composition. TFS. : )
