Thanks! He didnt take long to hop away haha I got there in time, size-wise it could be worse, I've seen some insanely tiny micro ones at my blacklight and I still have no solid ID (likely genus Empoa though, maybe E. gillettei). I collected and triangle'd two specimens though so maybe someday I will

Unfortunately no recent photos that aren't of my pets, canadian winter is sad! Here's this very blue and cute rhododendron leafhopper from last summer though, cicadellidae and membracidae are among my favorite taxa. They're so goofy and adorable

Although not a bird, while out on a trail, we came across a porcupine, to the amazement of the family who showed up to the guided walk. I reassured them that no, porcupines are not capable of shooting out their quills like projectiles- just offer them space and respect like any other wildlife. 🌿
