Found A New Bug, ID Help?

[darkdragon]

Hey guys, I found this today and have no idea what it is. Hoping that maybe someone here can recognize it with these really bad photos. These are the only 2 images I was able to get, unfortunately.

Some info:
Found in Zion, Utah aprox 12pm. It was about 85f outside, cloudcover and storm brewing.

Looks like a plant or leaf hopper

Thanks Brian. I'm sure that's it now that you said that. The wind was blowing, my camera saw the critter better than I could. :rofl

Looks similar to the little guy I found at Ann's place in Canada :D
looks like a leaf hopper to me too.

They're strange looking little critters close up, hope you get to see one that is not in hiding, the heads on those things a pretty darn cool.

Thanks for sharing :thumb ... Skippy :D

Thanks Skippy :D

Yeah, this little guy was hiding alright. I would get a shot and he'd move the other side of the leave, so i'd walk around to that size and get a shot, and he'd move around again. Never ending battle for the sharp images with him.

Wind, side of the road, cliff - he was the only critter there and i didnt want to give up but this was the best I got.

I have more/better buggy goodness comming up tonight. Just need to get caught up on work so I didn't bring any distractions with me today :rofl
