I noticed these Leafhoppers on a Plant when I visited my Grandma and Grandpa in the Nature on their Campground in Salem Germany. I am not sure about the Plant. When I remember right, my Grandpa said it is a Rhododendron. What do you think? I am right? Is it a Rhododendron?
EDIT: Big thanks goes to Alice… She gave me the Information that the Plant is definitely a Rhododendron. She also did correct me that the Insects are Leavehoppers as I thought they would be called Grasshoppers. Theirfor I was able to correct my Blogpost.
I just did stand near the Plant and did take a closer look and noticed the very very little Leafhoppers. No Joke.. there were hundreds if not thousands of them on the Leaves of the Plant. Fortunately I had my Digital Camera with me. I really wanted a Photo of the Leaves with the Raindrops and Leafhoppers on it.
I did shoot some Photos then but I decided these two Photos are ok for my Blogpost…
I have some more Photos of Flowers and Plants but also Photos of Animals and Insects on my Blog.
It certainly is a Rhododendron, but you actually came across some gorgeous coloured leafhoppers (not grasshoppers) 🙂 You’ll find them here:

Lovely pictures.
Oh both informations are interesting. I can now be sure its a Rhododendron. I will edit Grasshoppers to leafhoppers 🙂 Thank you very much. What would I be without the internet community 🙂
Corrected and mentioned you in the blogpost. Thanks again 🙂
