Thanks Jason and Sckel! They are really cool, but I've only found then just as you see then here, I've never seen in standing up in a leaf or stalk oddly enough:)

Very cool. I see them in my yard. This is very small. Discouraged for shooting this.

So glad I could contribute Cindy! I wish I could actually see how they do it. The eggs look like they have been inserted into the stalk of the plant.

This is great! I haven't seen Treehopper eggs before. Thank you for sharing this spotting and adding it to The Hoppers mission :)
