Common red leafhopper

UlatPokok GetahI have been trying to photograph this tiny red leaf insect for sometime but unsuccessful due to many reason - poor lighting, uncooperative subject, jittery and always hopping everywhere.

The last Raya holiday, I was lucky to witness this red insects cling quietly at sugar-cane leaf. So many of them, at least 10 neatly sat in row apparently sunbathing drying themselves

We have treehoppers, and now I know about leafhoppers.

Fantastic.
