Field Notes

Description:

The Rhododendron leafhopper (Graphocephala fennahi), so named as it feeds on the sap of rhododendrons, is native to the USA. The species was introduced to Great Britain in the 1930s and continental Europe in the 1970s. There has been suggestion that the rhododendron leafhopper contributes to the spread of a Rhododendron fungus through Europe. (Wikipedia)

Yes of course your suggestion was too close so it was obvious it belongs to the same genus that's why it was easy to find it :).
Dan Doucette
You're right, at least I pointed you in the right direction. They both come up with a search of the common name.

Thanks dandoucette but looks like your suggestion is not totally right, yours has too many red stripes and this one looks like Graphocephala fennahi.
