Two-striped planthopper nymph - Acanalonia bivittata
Rural, Dane County, Wisconsin, USA
July 4, 2007
I've seen these often as they fly past looking like tiny pieces of lint, but this was the first time I've ever been able to capture a photo of one. However, I have no idea what kind of insect this might be or even where to start looking.

Looks like an Acanalonia nymph
Shouldn't be flying, because he doesn't have his wings yet, but they sure can spring!

I must have mistaken a leap for flying. :) Thanks.
