Graphocephala coccinea is quite the standout! I've always known these guys colloquially as candy-striped leafhoppers but iNaturalist is telling me they're called red-banded leafhoppers. :/ agree to disagree, I guess.

This first batch has already hopped off to new homes but there will definitely be more in the future!

Years ago I drew a few leafhoppers for an exercise at school. These are still the most popular thing I have ever posted on the internet. So I drew some more and made a poster. These little guys are very fun! finding all their scientific names was a pain though!

super pleased with the mousepads especially, this was something new for me to make. he’s the computer mouse of the sea….

Dismantle stealth bombers, invest in Stealth Sharpshooters (they don't do anything war-like, they're just little guys in the grass 🖤)

Oooh even cooler, this is a rare Florida endemic: Neoslossonia putnami!

hello my dears... planthopper today

this wasn't my first time seeing this dude! (Salurnis marginella) is pretty recognisable with a flat, leaflike body. along with some 'burnt' colouration along the edges of its body

however. this was the first and only photo ive gotten of it... they hop and fly at the slightest hint of trouble and so ive found them difficult to capture

Another leafhopper to check off the species list: Tylozygus bifidus! Like a lot of leafhoppers, these guys are small-to-tiny in real life and blend in well with all kinds of plants. I love catching a glimpse of these striped beauties when I stop and smell the roses!

Bug of the Day

Dang, I feel really lucky regarding how well this shot of a leafhopper came out. It was in a really awkward spot on one of my lights!
