Leaf hopper - looks a bit like Graphocephala fennahi but seems far too small - body length 2.14mm total length 3.06mm.
Taken yesterday South coast UK (fairly near some rhododendrons)
Thanks

This is Zyginella pulchra Brian, a fairly recent colonist which has since spread very rapidly. It comes in various colour forms; the red morphs are always males as far as I'm aware. It feeds on sycamore, and is very common during the autumn/winter on evergreens, but much harder to find during the summer - see the discussion thread here
Cheers

I wouldn't have had a clue on this- but what a beautiful insect + fine photo of it too!

Yep, well done Brian! We're doing a little note about the spread of this species at the moment, so if you could send me the location and host-plant details that would be great.
Cheers,
