Field Notes

Notes:

3rd spotting from the same potted plant where I saw Click beetles and a green katydid. This was about 1/4 of an inch and first time I saw something like this. A good jumper as well. Help on the ID would be appreciated :-)

That's definitely a nymph--no wings, and the way it curls its body up is standard behavior for nymphal bugs.

Thanks Karen. Love the pics on your link. Yes most probably a leafhopper. Just hard to ID. Not sure if this is a nymph or an adult one already :-)

Some kind of leafhopper perhaps? There are more leafhopper species worldwide than all species of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians combined!
