Uh huh.. maybe that's why they're called sharp-shooters in America?

,, thinking a bit more about it Hema could they have been midges?
That sounds very strange Hema. Did you smell like a plant?
not this cute little bug per Se. i know that Leaf hoppers ,when they are in swarms ,they bite the life out of you. I was bitten by bugs in Florida. Florida is a bug hunter's paradise,particularly the one swamps.
Thank you Hema and Celeste. Hema, I've never known them to bite. Did you encounter one that did?
He's cute!
Beautiful Cindy!! Hoppers bite!!
Thank you! I love these! This particular one has an extra set of "windows" on the wings compared to my other spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/272...
