Field Notes

Description:

Very dark version of this Leafhopper. You can see the white abdomen with black spots through the glassy wings. The normal coloration can be seen at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7196898

Habitat:

This hopper was in my driveway! Normally it's on plants but it must have misjudged its flying ability :)

Notes:

I miss the macro lens :(
