Cool hopper. I photographed one of these the last time you and I went hiking. Not sure what the species is, but you narrowed it down for me:)

Thank you Bayucca! I looked through all of your links, and I think the one that you have have listed with the ID suggestions is the one. Thank you for all of your work on this! I had no idea of where to start.

Cicadellidae, Aphrodinae, Aphrodes sp.. Obviously quite a tricky genus with most of the specimens only IDed down to genus leve. Please, verify! http://bugguide.net/node/view/501073/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/430151 http://bugguide.net/node/view/61165/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/309646/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/658098/bgpage More Aphrodes sp.: http://bugguide.net/node/view/7444/bgimage?from=0 http://bugguide.net/node/view/7444/bgpage
