Leafhopper Exuvia

Hemiptera; family Cicadellidae

Notes:

Some little creatures have shed their skins on this leaf. I have no idea what though. Very small, only 3-4mm.

Thanks Martin, they are strange looking creatures. I have a better picture of a similar spider here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/106...

Nice. They look like leafhopper exuvia (hemiptera; family Cicadellidae). There's also a scale insect (hemiptera; family Coccidae) and a spider that came to see what all the commotion was about. He's too late :(
