Mike In The Garden 🏴🇮🇪Morning and happy Sunday.
I saw this little beauty this morning.
I have no idea what type of insect it is but isn't he/she lovely. 😀
Stephen@MikeInTheGarden That is a Red and Black Froghopper :) Lovely photo!
@mister_goldfish thanks Stephen. 🙂
Druid 🏴@mister_goldfish @MikeInTheGarden Thank you, I've been searching for ages. 😊 With your help I've now found that it's a Cercopis vulnerata.

@druid @MikeInTheGarden You're most welcome. I hadn't come across the adults until moving to Suffolk. But as a kid in Surrey I remember finding the cuckoo spit every now and then and having no clue.
As a side, I really admire your garden photos. I love Wales and it's a joy to see what you're doing there.
@mister_goldfish @druid thanks Stephen. Our garden is a great source of peace and calm for the both of us. We have way too many plants but the wildlife seem to approve and the birds love jumping from tree to tree. 🙂
@MikeInTheGarden @druid We feel much the same about our garden. Our birds, though, enjoy jumping from tree to weed to tree :)
Michele Scallan@MikeInTheGarden great colors
LionelBBlack and red leafhopper :)
TravelsOfTux@MikeInTheGarden Apparently a species of froghopper.
