I spotted this odd looking bug in my porch a few weeks ago. It looks like a wingless fly with a hairy tail that wouldn't look out of place on a fly sized horse.
My Google-fu failed me so I turned to JustAnswer. Random insect identification isn't your typical veterinary question but Rebeccavet came through for me via a taxonomist in Kenya and told me it's a Leafhopper (Cicadellidae) nymph. Given this information Google Images confirmed that this seems like the most likely possibility.
(Full disclosure - I work at JustAnswer.)

Free Firewood... and Tibet
Sign seen in Bernal Heights, San Francisco.
In this photograph titled "Free," the viewer is immediately drawn to a makeshift, handwritten sign that reads "FREE FIREWOOD +TIBET!" The sign, crafted from a piece of paper, is affixed to the bark of a tree. Surrounding it, dappled sunlight filters through the leaves, casting gentle shadows that dance upon the surface of the paper. The background is a lush tapestry of greenery, composed of leaves and foliage, invoking a sense of nature’s quiet abundance. The overall scene feels organic and spontaneous, captured during a moment of serene outdoor stillness.
The composition of the photograph is striking in its simplicity. The centered placement of the sign serves as the focal point, guiding the viewer’s eye immediately to its message. This centralization reflects a straightforward style that contrasts with the natural chaos of the surrounding foliage. The play of light and shadow adds a dynamic element, enhancing the text’s legibility and imparting a natural texture to both the sign and the tree. What resonates well is the raw, unpolished nature of the sign against the natural backdrop, emphasizing a poignant rustic charm. However, the photograph might have benefitted from a slightly higher contrast or saturation to further differentiate between the sign and the foliage, making the message stand out even more vividly.
