The insect is only about 3-4 mm long. Its wings normally rest much like a leafhoppers wings, but it was stretching them a lot, so they're out a bit in this pic. I got the impression it "jumped" when it got tired of me looking at it... The antenna are very short, and appear to be yellow. As you can see, the body and wings are blue, and there appear to be lines coming off the black wing spots to the inside edge of the wings...
