I was taking a shot of this flower bud, when I noticed this translucent insect. As usual I was curious to know what type of insect this was. So, I did a search on the internet but could not get an exact match. It looks like a planthopper nymph with jet propulsion. But if I’m wrong I hope someone out there can share the correct info.
I'm a Eurasian of Portuguese, English, Scottish and Malay heritage. And my extended family are of Chinese and Indian heritage. In recent years, the younger generation have added on to include spouses from the Philippines, Nigeria and Russia. My world is made up of different colours like the rainbow. And like the rainbow I am unique.
Reading is my form of relaxation, to escape from the drudgery of daily life and enter into a world of the imagination. It is the love of reading that has led me to try my hand in writing short stories and poems.
I hope that in some way my stories and poems will take you for a little while away from the drudgery of the present into the pages of imagination.
To new friends found, I bid you, Welcome.
Sincerely,
C.E. Pereira

Kind of looks like a little silver fish with legs. Never seen anything like this before with legs. The silverfish insects we had in our house years ago, seemed to like eating pages of old books. I don’t think it is one of those.
Nope, not a silverfish. At first, I thought it was a baby grasshopper but it couldn’t be as it was not opaque. It is some kind of plant hopper but which kind I am not sure.
