It is probably a leafhopper. I have a variety of them in my garden (middle GA). They seem like they are playing peek-a-boo. They eat sap from plant vines, but unless there are lots of them, they don't seem to cause any major damage. We have at least a half dozen different varieties in my garden - they're usually pretty with interesting patterns. Here is a link that might be useful: Leaf Hoppers

That seems to be very true, huh Catherine? If I could get a bug to go after the cuke beetles and squash vine borers, my gardening would be much easier. You are probably right about this wasp. In the morning there is a flurry of all kinds of flying critters around the okra blooms. They were especially thick this morning. It could be because it had stopped raining for the first time in three days as to the higher activity...not sure. Tee

Well, we don't know where you live, and we don't have a photo of the insect, so, unless someone here has ESP, I doubt you're going to get an ID :-) Please let us know where you live, and post a clear, close photo of the insect in question, and we'll attempt to ID it for you. You can also post a photo of the insect on What's That Bug, http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ to see if it can be ID'ed there. Patty S.

OP said "Well, the spray we were told to use didnt do anything anyway. Its supposed to be more of a mold and black spot preventative than an insecticide. " Oh my, you need to locate a resource who can provide accurate information. Perhaps your county's Extension Service office. Find your county's office with this map: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/ Okay, back to your curled leaves and black mold. Please stay with me; take time to thoroughly digest each step to learn what occurred. It goes like this: 1. The diagnosis for your cherry tree is most likely aphids on the undersides of the cherry leaves. Those aphids were drinking plant sap and excreting the excess that they didn't need. That excess excreted sap is called honeydew. It's clear and it's sticky. 3. Then, a mold that's ever-present in the air, landed on the sticky stuff, fed on it, then produced the sooty mold (the black stuff) on the leaves. No way was that stuff black spot! Ladybugs, both adults and youngsters feed on aphids. The thing stuck on the leaf was a pupa as was already explained. Please don't try to scrape them loose as you may damage them and end up with a deformed ladybug rather than a healthy one. So, in the future, when you see similar curled leaves, please unroll them and look at what's inside the curls. Aphids, Lots and lots. Often very small. The best & safest remedy: Keep alert for curled leaves, then wash off the aphids. Insecticide sprays likely won't work because they are well protected within the curled leaves. Oh yes, as was said, the ladybugs don't make holes in leaves. Here is a link that might be useful: USDA map to locate Extension Service offices
