    Very neat looking leaf hopper! I fell for the 3rd picture too until I saw in the 4th one that it was a moth that was very good at camouflaging itself.

    Love the brightly colored 'leaf hopper'. Really neat that that guy is so brightly colored like that. Must make him an easy target for birds and things though.

    Cheers,

    I like both of these insects, but that leaf hopper looks like something I saw in a Marc Chagall painting years ago.........Beautiful. AL
