Here's the link for what is possibly the very same treehopper one week earlier: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1382264341
Habitat:
Spotted in a rural herb garden.
Notes:
The taxonomy for buffalo treehoppers is a bit confusing, and I'm not exactly sure what the current consensus is: Stictocephala alta, S. bisonia, S. bizonia, S. bubalus OR Ceresa bubalus, C. alta...???
