Citrus flatid planthopper (Metcalfa pruinosa)

I saw lots of these grey planthoppers this summer. As planthoppers go, they are relatively big at 5-8 mm, and quite attractive, with eyes that can appear orange in certain lights!

Crusty little fellow, making its way up, one step firmly planted at a time.
