Planthopper 2 (Aselgia ramulifera) Dictyopharidae

This planthopper hopped onto my cars windscreen as I was driving along.
Needless to stay I stopped the car to get a closer look and a picture. He jumped down onto the hood (bonnet) of the car and I liked the reflection I got.
He is small, less than half an inch. They eat herbs and grass and are fairly common in sub-tropical areas.
