Unidentified Cicadellidae
Unidentified Cicadellidae "A leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones."

This little Leafhopper was spotted on Eggplants (Solanum melongena) in our vegetable plot.
