Love this black and red lanternfly. Gives Darth Maul vibes. If anyone has any idea for an ID on this guy, please let me know. I feel like it’s from the genus Aphaena but none fit the description closely.

White leafhopper - Pagaronia triunata. A very old photo of mine, probably one of the first photos I took that I was pretty excited about at the time.

I beautiful lanternfly(Pyrops pythicus) I found out in northern Sumatra. I wish it wasn’t so high up in the tree so I could have gotten a good profile shot but this is the best we got 😅

A pair of tiny frosty bonnets(Mycena tenerrima). They are no larger an 5mm in size in this photo. They are very common. With a keen eye you can spot these tiny guys all over America and most of Europe.
