Graphocephala coccinea
This small, brightly colored leafhopper is only about a quarter inch long.
I find candystripped leafhoppers on sunny leaves in forest openings, along wooded paths, and at the edges of forests.
These brightly-colored leafhoppers are tiny; about a quarter inch long, but can be surprisingly hard to see.

Hello Gordon, I started a mission that focuses on the hoppers. I'm hoping it will global rather than just the 300 mile radius of where I'm at. Regardless, I'd really appreciate you adding your hopper spotting(s). http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8096... Thank you!
