Yay! I found my first leafhopper of the year! ...Wait, where'd they go? 🤎 Species is Penthimia americana, I believe.

FIGURE 5 Phylogenetic relationships for the leafhopper haplotypes in the Deltocephalinae tribes Chiasmini (Athysanella and Doratura spp.) and Pendarini (Chlorotettix and Paraphlepsius spp.) samples collected on yellow sticky cards in southern Idaho and compared with sequences from GenBank based on a 585-bp region of the cytochrome oxidase gene. Numbers on the nodes of the maximum-likelihood (ML) tree represent the statistical support for ML (1,000 replicates). The tree is drawn to scale, with the branch lengths measured in substitutions per site. The tree is rooted to Circulifer tenellus. GenBank accession numbers are followed by genus and species names when available (samples from this study are highlighted in yellow). The best substitution model was GTR + G + I.

Results from Carl A. Strausbaugh, Erik J. Wenninger, and Eric Vincill contribute substantively to the cataloging of #leafhopper taxa present in southern Idaho and will aid in developing vector and disease management decisions. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTOFR-04-25-0043-R

Possible #Leafhopper evading a photo good enough for ID 🤦
This tiny little thing was so small I thought it was a moth egg until it started moving.

Phloiophilus edwardsii.

Male Drosophila suzukii.

Balclutha punctata.

Some of yesterday’s records from Newington Cemetery, #Edinburgh. Highlight was Neobisium carcinoides, my 1st #pseudoscorpion on a gravestone. Also #beetle Phloiophilus edwardsii, #fly Drosophila suzukii (male) & #leafhopper Balclutha punctata. #CemeteryWildlifeWatch recording activity on #iRecord.

Dew drops on this pretty little leafhopper.

A macro photo of a tiny green leafhopper clinging to a thorny green, raspberry bush stem. Its wings resemble a leaf with delicate vein patterns, blending into the plant. The background is a blurry green-gray.

Fruticidia bisignata, new to Essex (only third UK record), from my garden

Zygina lunaris, possibly new to Essex, from my garden

Liguropiajuniperi, possibly new to North Essex (VC19), from a local churchyard

What an incredible month November has been so far, and thanks to simply shaking some leaves.

Three new leafhoppers for me, two of these possibly new to Essex.

Always love finding Ledra aurita (Eared Leafhopper) nymphs! From SE Shropshire yesterday. #Homoptera #Leafhopper #Shropshire

Been seeing a lot of these Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hoppers[?] (S. festinus[?]) recently and they are just precious. 🥰

Such a good-shaped creature.

#Grasshopper. This could also be the common-or-garden #cicada, which sings so sweetly in the suburbs but could equally be any #leafhopper, treehopper or spittlebug. Insect, plant and bird names can be very variable and fuzzy. Trust me on this.

An army of cuties coming along nicely. I am imagining this as a wall piece that is a "swarm of candy-striped leaf hoppers". I don't think this species actually swarms but in art it will. #ceramics #handbuilding #SciArt #insects #leafhopper

A red-banded leafhopper at the edge of a leaf. There are two leaves which take up most of the background of the photo, separated by less than an inch. The leafhopper is at the top center edge of the one on the left and it is facing left. It is primarily green with several red bands on the wings. The thorax is green and the head, abdomen, and legs are yellow. There is a bit of white on the top of its head and a black stripe across the middle of the head and a curved black stripe at the end of the tail

This #Leafhopper sold so quickly after its first appearance at a market 🙏 I'm always so grateful for every sale and customer, but especially when a brand new #painting flies the second it goes out to the public ❤️

Some critters in my garden today. This is 1 of a few Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillars that I have.
I know leafhoppers can be destructive, but I only saw this one, and it is in a garden bed mostly full of plants for caterpillars to eat. It's pretty.
