Rhodie leafhopper at last!

  After a couple of years of forgetting about this beautiful leafhopper I finally managed to find a few at Sandringham last week. Alison was not that impressed, until she saw the photo! A macro lens can sure make the difference!

I found this strange-looking beast on top of my moth trap last night.....I think it looks a bit like a miniature cross between a Duck-billed Platypus and a Stegosaurus. Or is that just me ?
