A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Graphocephala coccinea
leafhoppers mating (at least I'm guessing that's what they were doing. You can see the second leafhopper better in the second picture).
spotted on milkweed plants in a suburban backyard.
I had some moments of transcendent awe the first time I saw one of these insects--they are so gorgeous! for the backyard habitats of the world mission, all I did to enhance the habitat was get my husband on board with not weed whacking the milkweed plants :-)
