Amazing talk by Kelly Tolman this morning about a trailblazer in #entomology studying #Membracoidea and other #insects! #Entsoc25

A bright green and black and yellow striped leafhopper, Tylozygus geometricus, on a wooden surface. The leafhopper is streamlined, almost bullet shaped, and has black and yellow lines that cross it's face and the back of the pronotum (the area behind the head) the wings are green with tiny black lines that run front to back with a patch of black right at the back.

The front of a gray green treehopper, Archasia pallida, resting on a light blue painted wood surface. The hopper is a light grayish green with a dark brown line along the crest that runs along the middle. The wings are transparent.
