Niesthrea louisianica
Copyright © 2008 Hartmut Wisch

Niesthrea louisianica
Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California, USA
August 26, 2008
Size: 6.5 mm
With eggs in background, found (together with nymphal stages) on Abutilon palmeri.
Though it looks like some adult N. louisianica at bugguide, some look quite different. Perhaps there's considerable variation, or this is a similar species.

Larval stages look more characteristic than adults do.

I haven't posted the early instars yet, but they also fit.

Just found some more adults,
they seem to change color with age (see new post).
Thanks again, Boris, for your comments.
