Excellent photo with beautiful colors. I've never seen a bug like that before.

thanks for the ID, and yes for confirmation I did find them on an oak tree although im not sure what exact species of oak ( i am a horrible botanist). I also photographed some of the nymphs which look different, ill post those when i get a chance.
