I believe this is some type of Planthopper. It is quite tiny, about 1/4".
Canon Rebel T1i. 90mm macro lens w/ext. tube. F/8 for 1/15 sec. ISO 400.

Nice capture Carolyn. We have a lot of tree and plant goppers but haven't seen this one. They are tiny but the nice thing is they are not real skittish.

Carolyn:
Not seen one of these before and sure looks small and very unusual looking with yellow eyes. Thanks for sharing.

He's blue! How beautiful! I love those tiny details on his wings, and the brilliant yellow eye. This is a lovely shot! Nicely done, Carolyn!
