Candy-Striped Leafhopper (Four Photographs)

This was by far the most beautiful insect I came across last summer. These photos show the candy-striped leafhopper in different positions so you can see its eyes and coloring. Turns out its eyes are bigger than its stomach. Unfortunately this creature is a menace to vegetation, especially fresh growth and may be a vector for leaf disease. But as they say, everything has its place in the food chain.
