hey bugman!
…found this on my desk today after bringing some potted plants indoors. He was making a really loud, fussing clatter with his tiny wings (as you can see my fingernail dwarfes him) and but surprisingly he didn’t care so much when i scooped him up with a business card. any idea? i’ve never seen anything like it.

Hi Pete,
This is one of the Keelbacked Treehoppers. They often infest our tomato plants.
