This is a tiny sharpshooter that i found on the tree in my backyard. This sharpshooter has greenish body, and black wings. The size of this sharpshooter is about 4 mm in length.
- Spotted on the jack-fruit tree in my backyard. Usually, it can be found around the garden and bushes.
- This planthopper is from the Cicadellidae family. Thanks to Bayucca for the ID. - http://naturalhistory.museumwales.ac.uk/....

Cicadellidae/Leafhopper, Cicadellinae/Sharpshooter, Cicadellini, Kolla sp. and most probably Kolla batavia. Kolla paulula is very similar, so you might look for this one as well. My ID is mostly based on the link above. The site looks trustable. I think with the "cf." we are on the safe side.
