A sweet shot. Nice!

ROFLMAO!!! The game of chasing the insect around the stem, it's so FUNNY!! I think we would die laughing to see one of us going round and round the stem, and then going around the other way to try to outsmart it, but it has already anticipated the maneuver and is on the other side already!!! *cackle* So funny. Very hard to win this game. I try to slowly approach but it doesn't work most of the time. I was trying to get a picture of a really cool looking weevil yesterday but the stinker kept going around to the other side and then crawled into the space between the leaf and stem with just its butt sticking out...the party pooper! :D :D

GREAT JOB with this neon wonder!! Incredible! I think that's a type of ??leafhopper?? but I can't id beyond that! :)

Oh this is a FUN game !!

The grasshoppers as Past masters at it too !

Gorgeous photo George !

A beautiful green, and so strong within the picture.

Thank you for your kind comments, everyone. :) I now have done what I should have done in the first place - a little homework. Working on the reasonable expectation that I hadn't discovered a new species, a little internet searching soon had the results. This goes by the name Siphanta acuta or, more easily, "The Green Planthopper" - it is from the family of insects called the Flatidae, which I gather have representatives in most parts of the world.

I love to see this guy and your fine shot of him!

That's Wild!!
