A pretty baffling micro

Any help on identifying this tiny moth would be appreciated. The best I can come up with is Pseudopostega crepusculella.

    Think it might be a leafhopper nymph -
    no idea whether identifiable to species from this or not but great website here where could contact/send in photo for more info (http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/gallery/homoptera/Cicadellidae/Cicadellidae.html), bw, Marc

    Hi Mark

    Yep, it's a leafhopper. Its shinyness and shape should have warned me it wasn't a moth. The gallery you pointed me to takes you into a whole new world. I never realised leafhoppers could be so varied and colourful.
