rhododendron leaf hopper

[Stan]

There were quite a few of these small creatures, around a centimetre in length, on the rhododendron bushes around the Blue Pool on Saturday. Never seen one before and had to look it up - apparently it is not a native species and originates from North America and is mostly found in the South of England

Re: rhododendron leaf hopper

Thanks guys

don't know how you do it

not an easy shot as they were tending to move along the leaf all the time and just when getting ready to shoot, they would hop away
