Well that explains a lot. ; )
Thanks lori.tas. I was argybee then.
I love the little gum-treehoppers. Unlike leafhoppers, they tend not to actually hop around much as they are usually attended and defended by ants, in exchange for honeydew. Here's a spotting of mine with an interesting article attached. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/140...
Cute hopper.
