I am going to say "no". This link says that they have distinct white dots on the head http://acwm.co.la.ca.us/scripts/glassyW.htm & http://bugguide.net/node/view/29426/bgimage There are 39 pages of hoppers in the bugguide. I went through 12 and did not find your bug (I am at work right now) so I gave up. :wink: Very nice shot Sue

I figured CA since I read somewhere they like the grapes, or at least like to destroy the grapes. All I have in my garden besides flowers is watermelon :D
