But on a sunflower so "Sunflower Bug" until someone who knows what is what tells me.
Saw them chasing each other and playing other mating games while filling bird feeders so they will have breakfast. I sure don't get up early enough to give them breakfast.
So I went in the house, took my 80D off the 150-600 on the tripod (it had the flash on it) and mounted the 100 mm macro. Set the camera to manual 1/800 & f/16, put the flash on High Speed Sync and ETTL (LED says it has a range of .5 meter with these settings).
80D, Canon 100 f/2.8 macro, 1/800 @ f/16, ISO 400
Center Point AF, Spot meter, hand held with just barely enough light to find the bugs.

Thank you.
Some "Bug People" in True Macro ID'd them: Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter leafhopper (Homalodisca vitripennis)
Big name for a little bug.
And one threw in the info that they are death on vineyards, I don't have any grape vines so maybe they will starve or move on looking for grapes.
