Cass County, Texas, USA

Size: less than 1/4 inch
I posted an image recently of one of these and it was suggested that this id may be correct. Mine certainly appears similar to the guide images of that species. These little guys drop loose from their perch (red-tipped photinia blossoms - in this instance) very quickly when disturbed and so I let one fall into my hand in order to get a better shot that the one I submitted earlier.
