Leafhopper

That was in the yard yesterday on the rhododendrons. Looked much brighter in person. The red was less orangey, more a visually buzzing opposite of the green. I’m surprised I never noticed how colorful these guys are before. They are very small.

As usual, the best to be found under the gray plague of Seattle sunlight pales before those found in brighter climes like this fellow courtesy Bruce Marlin.

I guess there is only one angle allowed for photographing leafhoppers. I tried a head-on but he didn’t like the idea and took off.
