Field Notes
Description:
Tiny leafhopper with distinctive bright orangish-red and yellow coloration. It's name "tunicarubra" means "red cloaked" or "red coat" (a pretty accurate description I think).
Habitat:
Rural yard.
Notes:
Attracted to the outside lights at night. This one was a difficult one for me to ID. Sorry for the poor quality of the picture. I only had a moment to get a shot before it flew off.
