Not a very good picture, but I can tell by the spines on the hind tibiae that this is a Leafhopper as opposed to a froghopper! Thanks H Dogg for that useful info .
Now can anyone ID it for me please, it was on new leaf shoots of a clematis, I spotted it last night looking for non existant moths - thanks.
