This little hopper was very difficult to study or photograph. It was very aware of my presence and persistently moved to the opposite side of the branch - it moved into sight for a few seconds and then flew away. It was great to see him take flight. Unfortunately, I could only take the one photo of this hopper. My thanks to argybee for the ID Membracidae: Centrotinae: Terentiini
Fabulous looking little creature peeping over the stem - love it's brown velvet hat.
