Green and red with yellow head flying (Red banded leafhopper)
by Rick D
(Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
Very small, thin, colorful beetle sitting on a cucumber leaf (but not eating!) in the sun, afternoon-ish, during mid-august near Montreal, Quebec. When bothered, would quickly flick into the air, do a quick circle and land on the same leaf or very nearby. Only saw this one.

Very small beetle-like insect; light green with red stripes (Red Banded Leafhopper)
by Sandy
(Eastern Ontario)
Solitary and found on quite a few of my hosta leaves. I would certainly appreciate some of your ID time to ID this. I'd like to know whether there's a chance it could be making the little pinholes we see in hostas around this time of year. Thanks.

Three inch green leaf like insect (Katydid)
by Alicia
(Reno, NV)
Reno, NV. This insect's body looks exactly like a leaf. I can't tell if it has wings but it has two antennae you can't see in the picture. It has been hanging out by our front door, where lots of bugs accumulate around the porch light. When I took this picture, it was on the ceiling.

Long green insect with folded wings (Squash bug)
by CT
(Singapore, Singapore)
the GREEN insect
Long green insect with 2 pairs of folded wings, one pair over another, folded neatly into 2 overlapping triangles. 6 long legs. Head is like a triangle, 2 tiny eyes very close to the apex. Antennae are brown, each with a short but visible section of white near the middle. I accidentally touched it, and now my fingers still stink of the weird leafy smell. It suddenly flew to my hand in the late night. Nearly squashed it. Now it's safely kept in a microwave safe container.
