These little critters seem to have a taste for spicy herbs, they like my Thyme, Salvia, Lavender, Rosmarinus, Basilicum... They are hardly visible with the bare eye and look green to the eye. When disturbed they jump or fly (haven't figured that out yet which of the two) or move very fast walking sideways. They seem to suck on the leaves that show the damage in very tiny whitish pin points.

Their size is about 2 mm.
I think they are very common.
How wonderful is the macro-mode in a camera that can capture what would stay invisible for the human eye!! I find the little creature rather handsome with its beautifully designed outfit!


My pictures were cropped and are not that sharp but reasonably good enough for ID.
