But on a sunflower so "Sunflower Bug" until someone who knows what is what tells me.
Saw them chasing each other an 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.

Got IDs from several people in "True Macro".
Glassy-Winged Sharpshooter leafhopper (Homalodisca vitripennis) Hell of a name for a bug less than 1/2" long.
Someone from Wine Country added they are death on vineyards. Good thing I don't have any grape vines in the yard.
Strange bug-eyed bugs they are, Jerry, and they're certainly chowing down on your sunflowers! Super shots!!

They are welcome to that sunflower plant, the blooms are fading and turning brown anyway.
