Field Notes
Description:
5 to 7 mm pale planthopper with greenish veins in the wings. Brown eyes and the hind legs are similar in shape to a frog or grasshopper although hidden in this image.
Habitat:
This one was often found at night among moths on lights in road side phone booth
Notes:
file #pale hopper 97. There are a number of these small hoppers appearing out of bad lighting in the sequences of moth photographs taken at night. Up to this point they are all pale with long, kicking or hopping legs at the rear and as small as 5mm. Looks a lot like Circulifer tenellus or Beet Leafhopper but the face appears more angular
