Rhododendron Leafhopper

DateSaturday, September 26, 2009 at 2:43PM

A rhododendron leafhopper, Graphocephala fennahi (family Cicadellidae, order Hemiptera), on the leaf of a bramble bush (though there were rhododendron bushes nearby).  This leafhopper was introduced from the United States in the 1930's and is now common throughout southern Britain.
