Candy-striped leafhopper
Graphocephala coccinea
42.5998, -71.3673
Field Notes
Description:
leafhoppers mating (at least I'm guessing that's what they were doing. You can see the second leafhopper better in the second picture).
Habitat:
spotted on milkweed plants in a suburban backyard.
Notes:
I had some moments of transcendent awe the first time I saw one of these insects--they are so gorgeous!
for the backyard habitats of the world mission, all I did to enhance the habitat was get my husband on board with not weed whacking the milkweed plants
:-)
