Backyard Bugs . . . Flea Beetle


I am pretty sure that this is some kind of Flea Beetle. According to a UK entomology website for kids, "Flea beetles 1 inch long can jump up to 2 feet--like a human jumping over 15 cars." Our little guy sure proved that point. He was jumping at a height that would be comparable to a human jumping 30' up.
