Never seen one shaped quite like this before. It was very tiny and I almost missed it. Attracted to my patio lights at night.

Jumping tree bug
Congrats! This may be the best shot ever of a "jumping tree bug" in the family Isometopidae, and probably the genus Diphleps. Nice work (insert applause here)....Holy cow! It's a new FAMILY for Bugguide (wild applause)....Geesh. I looked this up on the 'net, and it still shows as a valid family-level taxon....

Very cool!
thanks, Eric! I'm glad I spotted it. If I see another, I'll try to catch it for an on-white photo shoot.
